    The trickiest part about teaching carving is the necessity of comitting to the downhill edges at the top of the turn. Everyone's self preservation instincts prefer the uphill edges. Comitting to the downhill edges feels like comitting to a face plant. The in rigger enables experimenting with a seemingly risky move until confidence develops and the training wheels are no longer needed. The addivtive part about teaching this is when a student has an ah ha moment and a whole new level of the sport opens up to them.

    Thanks man, you changed my life. Been doing it all wrong all my life. This is game changer, feels so much better now!
  • @omnisis
    Holy crap! I've watched many vids on carving, and this is the first one with a clear path to edge angle progression that seemed doable and had obvious ways to check your progress without doing too many things at once. I can't wait to try these drills out on piste! Thank you.
  • @sampouuuuu
    Buying new skis for the next season so that I can finally start carving properly. This tutorial gave me a good idea of what's ahead of me✌️
  • @canoai
    Wow, just wow. This makes so much sense. Better than any video on youtube. I can't wait to try them out and finally carve!
  • @cams3425
    Great tutorial video! Learning how to carve has opened up another fun way to ski. Carving also helps improve control during high speeds while skiing. It's opened up a whole new way for me to look at how to attack terrain with speed, precision and control. Thank you for the lessons and techniques to help progress my skiing ability. I also very much appreciate the exercise types toward increasing mobility. Keep up the excellent work!

    I am carving since 10 years, but was stuck at medium level, what was frustrating. (I am on skies 50 years). After watching this first exercise, I made more progress in one day, than in the 10 years before. Thanks a lot for this lesson. I have new confidence, that I can finally make it 🙏

    Hi Tom, great explanation and visuals. I really struggled to carve turns until my instructor took me out on 150cm ski’s. Helped me really feel the forces etc.
