That’s amazing! I turn my upper body too much. How you can stay so straight and move your legs like that!

In the simplest terms, what do you think about to make this happen? We all know by now that to start a new turn we have to change our weight and balance from our downhill foot to our uphill foot. But what do we do beyond that to allow the skis to make a turn? "Get off my downhill foot and kneel down the hill." Watch for it here and especially when you see a skier coming straight at you from above. Watch the entire upper body as you see where the kneecaps go and visualize kneeling down the hill. That puts every part of your body where it needs to be to allow the skis to make the turn. Yes, skiing IS that simple.

🤣😂the equivalent of a 45 year old in short shorts rollerblading cones at the park…imagine working years of your life and spending thousands and thousands of dollars to do this…
