Excellent excellent video combining ski fundamentals with some dry land training. Excellent stuff. Working on getting those hips forward at initiation in my own turns.
@@wildrfitness - I get a lot out of your channel. Looking forward to the dry land stuff you do over the summer. Trying to get my knees and back in shape for a heli trip next January. ;)
The season is over here in Pennsylvania, but I have 8 months of pre season training. Definitely jumping is something I do! Now I have a better understanding of application. TY!
You are an excellent carver. And you nailed it on the burning quad comment. Most of the non serious skiers that "want" to get better simply aren't stong enough nor willing to do what it takes to get strong enough. But as long as it's fun.
@@strathound That is forward or front seat. knowing where neutral is as the skier above is pictured allows you to shift from front to back with each turn and not over compensate. That picture above shows the front of the pelvic over the back of the heels or perfect neutral.
@@stevenalbertwood9090 - ok, I watched the video again, and she clearly said "over the toe piece". And, remember, she's talking about initiation, not the entire turn. You reach "neutral" near the apex of the turn, if you are doing it correctly. But we should definitely be driving forward at the beginning of the turn so that we begin the turn with more pressure on the tips of the skis. This will both allow for the ski to flex earlier in the turn and also give more speed control through the arc of the turn because the ski engages with the snow more towards the top of the turn. Give it a try, and see if you can feel the difference. Here's the link to where she is talking about this: ua-cam.com/video/2WQWPKJ_KsE/v-deo.htmlsi=WgFv-F0qIwDHXOeS&t=144
And for reference, the fundamental that applies here is: "Control the relationship of the Center of Mass to the base of support to direct pressure along the length of the skis."
as a progression you can try to already do the next turn while jumping, i.e., jump facing in one direction, land facing the other direction, repeat. keeping the skis' tips in the snow makes this a bit easier. this way, you don't just get forward but forward diagonally, which is the direction you want for edging the ski.
hey are oldies but they still work! I like to say you might as well keep em out of the landfill and on the snow but they do have less zip than newer skis would :)

thank you so much! I worked really hard at it so to get some positive feedback is wonderful!

We are coming to the end of our season too! Nice to hear from you Teri!

Strength is required for BAD technique. Good technique is efficient and nearly effortless at lower edge angles.
I think for longevity and maximal enjoyment on and off snow a combination of fitness and technique is the perfect blend :)
Front of the pelvis over the back of the heals is the center. Good to know where you're starting from. Great advice .
I think she said toes?

Love this!
what year are those skis ...LOL

@@wildrfitness I don't get the LOL part... a skiier does not need the 2024 carving ski to ski well and she clearly is a great skiier ;-)
