❤ i Like this video. hello from Sarajevo

[skullgeezer]

Thank you very much, I will definitely learn to ski with poles with this simple tutorial

[skiwhh]

So the answers are, lead with the inside hand and arm, face you lifted edges at the end of the arc, "That is the upper body counter", an tap the pole below the skis toward the falline. That's the way the best skiers in the world do it.

THANKS 4 Video... sometimes you let the poles DRAG on the snow... why does no one discuss this?

[liorrhadas]

thank you harald and mark.
can you please direct me to a video in youtube that demonstrate the harald's idea (upper body counter) ?

Totally incorrect for efficient skiing. Forward and upward pole swings create rotation and loss of control of the outside ski at speed or in powder.

[skiwhh]

First of all if you move the arm and pole swing forward to the tip of the ski your upper body turns square to the skis. Which is rotation. And with this you can't hold an edge on steeper terrain or in bumps. The up movement is really destructive because it stops the transition to the next turn. Lots of extra movements for no benefit to becoming an expert.

This is just wrong. Timing is all out. As for the guy below who says this is carving!! Hilarious 😆😆😂😂

[markwoods]

No. Actually it is correct. Pole plants vary by technique of course..but what is being shown here is the basic fundamentals of carving turns. Skiing at high speed or in powder is NOT what is being taught here.

pour améliorer les virages carving !!!

Hahaha. Honestly, ski poles are a marketing scheme. This video is a prime example of how useless they are. They're completely unnecessary and hinder a majority of skiers. Don't be a sucker.
