I’ve literally watched hours of videos for these two issues, this one was by far the simplest explanation. Thank you

I believed this gentleman ski instructor is British. If he is i wonder where he teaches in UK. I really want to book lessons with him. Such a good instructor, give very clear and easy to understand... 10/10 👏👏👏⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Finally someone telling people to start with the ankle. Your knees and hips will follow almost automatically.

Thousands times repeating "no leaning back", what I used to say is "look in front of the nose of your skis, interesting things are only there, bit ahead of ski, only there are interesting things, look for them" 😉😊 this is the wording that helps to describe this front/back position and illustrate first steps goal 😊, very valuable and essential tutorial 👍

Love the videos!!

I’m actually going to Morzine in the next few weeks- the first time skiing since my accident a year ago and all your videos are really helping me getting back into it!!!!

Thanks ❤

I just realized how similar a ski turn is to a counterbalanced turn on my dirt bike! 🤯

i also always highlight the importance of having your upper legs stacked under your hips so that they are supporting it with your skeleton/main musclegroups, yes there is a small window in which your legs can move out a bit but its narrow and if you go outside it you are skiing on your non main muscles.

Helpful video, I think I have a hard time keeping my shins forward the whole time and it’s something I need to work on. Went skiing a couple days ago for the first time in six months here in California. I had so much pain not on my shin but just right of it on the side of my leg, worse on the right side. I have come to the conclusion that it’s due to my form and having little ankle flexion forward? It’s just unnatural to me and something I need to fix because I was hurting myself 💀

I let my daughter use competition boots from the age of around 6-7 to force her to lean more forward on the skis. Worked very well even if they were stiff and uncomfortable.

Great video but no one has yet explained why I can't flex my ankles (forward), when moving?
Even through my weigh is forward, (pressure even across foot, then felt on toes arms forward ) & boots not too tight and relatively soft flex 90. I can do this statically.

I tried to put my bodyweight over my outside ski, faceplanted and broke my collarbone

[evanchouinard]

When you say flex the ankle do you mean Doris-flexion or plantar-flexion? Just to get a better picture in my head about my foot placement.
