I cannot even imagine the level of skill this person has to be able to teach while being recorded. Simply outstanding

One thing that helped me a ton: Make a plan. Even for 3 turns. It removes so much anxiety if you focus on what you are going to DO instead of what you don't want to HAPPEN.

First video I have seen on the subject of handling steeps that mentions, respects and addresses the fear learners face when they go up the gradient.

"Pole plant, over with the hip" I was repeating that in my mind last season when going down bumpy steeps. Helped me get my mind together.

This is so useful! Thank you for sharing. I will definitely be hearing “pole plant in, over with the hip” on my next steep run

Smart progression. Side-slipping an entire slope is far from ideal, but it's a great tool to have when you need it. Jump turns are essential for some narrow steeps and anyone saying this content is bad probably hasn't skied a big line outside the resort.

Lol whats so cool is I came up with these things on my own without ever being told. I definitely love jump turns and this is a great video with clear instructions. Good job

Thank you for this video! I first watched this last season, and rewatched it tons of times. Since last season, this is definitely my go to for the steeps. I may not be the fastest, but I feel in control. And that is exactly how I prefer to be! Thank you so much!!!

I am a certified ski instructor in Vail, Colorado. This is quality teaching content and good skills to learn.

More and more we are seeing many skiers that can not self arrest or stop after a fall on steep slopes. This should be a very important point of your Steeps tuition, in a fall its imperative to get your feet down slope, see where you are going and try to stop with your boots, hands or anything that can give a bit of purchase to the surface conditions....STOP sooner that later!

One of the most important tips I would give is to be moving before starting the turn, it is much more difficult to start a turn from a static position, but if you skis are sliding forward it is way easier.

Switching from snowboarding to skiing starting next season. This video is definitely what I am looking for! Subscribed! Thanks, Warren! Short, sweet, and very much to the point!
