How to Ski | 3 Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

Honestly in my opinion the best tip for getting better at skiing is consistently go skiing with people that are better than you

I found that skating with my skis taught me the most. The longer you hold it one ski the better. It gets you comfortable with the feelings of balancing on one ski and it's the perfect segway into dolphin turns.

I CANT WAIT TO GO SKIING AHHHH

Good fitting skiboots are essential. If your heels are always coming up if you lean forward you will have a bad feeling of connection and control. This leads to leaning back again. The next problem is to much stiffness from the boots. If you have a 4 buckle boot and you need to close the 3. buckle from above to strong to get a tight feeling, the inner plastic of the boot will give to much pressure to the lower shin and the boot nearly cant move forward anymore.

Brilliant. Really useful tips which I will try next week. Think I'm guilty off all of these. I've only been skiing for 4 years and class myself as a nervous intermediate. I've got better fitting boots this year and I'm hoping you feel more connected to the snow and more confident this year. I can get down reds but I really don't enjoy it.

Great videos! Visualization is the key. Drills shown in the videos are excellent!

hey man, just wanted to drop a comment that I really like and appreciate your videos. Helped me a lot to get much better at skiing! Thanks!

I know all this. Once I pick up speed everything falls apart. 😩

You helped me start in my freestyle career and now I’m just sitting in the park for 4 hours and and doing cork 360s, 540s, ext.

Hey Jens, nice video series. Appreciate them as complement to lots of practice and a few lessons at my local slope. I use these as a reminder of what to do/not do in the mornings before I start my day or midday if something doesn't feel right and I need to adjust (I'm mostly on blue square in north america). One suggestion - maybe say a quick sentence or two on why each technique is correct or incorrect or when it's desirable (or ask the guest/co-host to do so)? Sometimes the 'why' is intuitive to a casual observer (noob like me) and sometimes it's not. Thanks again.

You deserve so many more subs

Tips in the video were really helpful, Thank you!

i learnt ski by myself and i decided to learn skiing professionally but my area doesn’t have that and this video is great

Holy cow. The trick where you lift one leg at a time works SO AMAZINGly. I just went down my first blue square and if I hadn't watched this video, I would NOT have made it through the day. Thank you so much! EDIT: The reason I needed this video was that it's my 2nd time ever going skiing and I can't get lessons for my skill level but my dad and uncle don't want to go down the green dots so the blue squares were the only option

Excellent Tips! thanks! ⛷👌🏼

Great video. Good reminders

Very useful, thank you!

Great guide! Thnx :-)
