- Ski Lesson: Carving a clean track requires grip. On the other hand, sometimes you need to slip. So what makes a ski grip vs slip? In this video, we'll explore how the ski creates a platform to grip and how edging can affect turn shape. Check here for the full blog post: skierlab.com/get-a-grip-decid...

Your videos are the best ,I've seen many, they are clear, explanation are easy to understand.
Love them.
2:12 That plus the adjustment of your weight, forward and back along the ski which will add or subtract weight from the tip of the skis. More weight on the front means less weight on the tails. Tips bend and dig in more and the light tails slide around more. Good video. Just add the positioning of the hip and upper body into the turn to create the leg angle to make that happen.
Spring Skiing(corn snow)
I'm getting conflicting answers on how to ski granular snow. I would like to get your take through a UA-cam video if possible.
Of all the many video I watch to become a better skier, yours is absolutely the best.
Thank you
Thanks Susan, Are there any specifc difficulties you find skiing spring corn? I have some content on SkierLab.com for slushy spring bumps, but I will try to post somthing for youtube in the near future.
Thank you for responding.
I did watch your video on slushy bumps, it's defintely easier than skiing icy bumps in ontario, Canada.
My problem is being thrown around in thick corn snow in the spring.
This is what i know, less edging on the outside ski, skiing is similar to skiing powder, skis closer together, more bounce, try to stay top of the snow, smaller "c" shape turns, stay centered in your boot.
@@susanmauer5956 Sounds like you’re mostly on the right track. The main things to consider are how much your skis will sink into the snow, and how much they will slow down as a result of this. They will definitely sink into the snow more than on hard pack, but probably not as much as powder. This means you’ll need to find just the right pressure distribution between the two skis. Balance through the outside ski enough that you can direct it where you want… but not so much pressure solely on that ski that it sinks too far and wanders away. I like to think about balance being primarily through the outside ski, but using a muscular effort with the inside leg to adjust inside ski pressure as needed. It’s also difficult to get the skis steering when they’re stuck in the the snow, so you may need to make some sort of move to get the skis out of the snow between turns in order to get the steering started. Finally, if the snow slows your feet down significantly, you’ll need more effort to move your feet ahead through the arc (to stay in the balanced as they sink into the snow)… and a more substantial effort to pull your feet back underneath you again (as they come out of the snow).
@@section8ski your explanation greatly appreciated. Thanks again
Please tell me the difference between slipping and skidding!
I use the word slipping when we ski on flat skis that may be directed tho the same direction that the skis have or not. So by a slipping we cannot turn. For a turn we must have both edgings of the skis and inclination of the body.
Skidding is on the edges but not so high edge angels that would create carving.
So when you say slipping in this video, it is in my belief skidding.
So the expression "side slipping" is interesting because there is no real turn involved in side slipping but we do it on the edges of the skis. In reality however also side slipping is a highly elongated turn. So the correct name should be "side skidding".
Or am I wrong?
Wow! That's a complicated one! Labels like Slipping and Skidding should not be the focus of skiing as neither explain or teach anything. Body positions that add or subtract edge grip, should be the focus. How much you lean your hip into a turn determines your leg angle in relation to the slope. The more your skis are on edge, the more the tip and tail dig in, in relation to the amount of grip the narrower waste has which makes the entire ski bend more. The more erect you stand, the less steep your leg angle is so the tip and tail aren't digging in as much so the skis don't bend as much so based on your speed/momentum, the edge grip will be less. His illustrations show that very well. Even when your edges aren't gripping as much, you can still make a turn sharper by pressing your knees forward to load the tip more and allow the unloaded tail to slide around more.
@@JB91710 If this is complicated for you, why do you comment it? This discussion is about the difference between slipping and skidding. The answer may be that slipping is on flattened skis and skidding is on the edges. But then we have the term "side slipping" witch is a skidding on the edges.
In this video the words slipping and skidding interchangeable.
@@JanosKoranyi The way you wrote your question is complicated not my ability to understand it or comment on it. I explained that the words have no relevance. Only the body positions that make the skis grip or not matter. There are too many meaningless words being used to describe skiing. None of them teach anything.
@@JB91710 No, i think you are wrong. People think different ways. What is meaningless and complicated for you may be easy and simple for someone else. All aspects teach something!!
Oooo here ia is again smart guy in comment section. ... 😂😂😂😂
The presentation is so simple and so clear but yet so confusing. ... slipping or skidding the question is now..?
Asking questions and then listening and thinking about the answer is how you learn. His explanation was a description of what is happening as a result of doing other things that he didn't teach in this video. So only the part he did discuss was clear but didn't teach how to make it happen so there is room for questions.
