The SLO MO was very helpful. It highlighted the direction of your jump off your uphill leg which is straight up, not out. It's impossible to talk about every minute detail of any technique. Slow motion fills in any gaps in wording. Excellent upload!
Nice vid! It can also be useful for folks to learn this skill with a small stem from the upper ski that sets the uphill ski flat or even onto the new edge. Pushing off that helps to get the skis around faster. I noticed you doing it in some of your turns. Can be a good progression for some.
Some great advice here. I think the double pole plant is really useful as it gives great stability on take off and also helps keep your shoulders level with the slope and thus helps stop you leaning into the hill.
Thanks for the vid, I was really struggling to turn on my first double black because the slope was so narrow and steep, I just decided to walk the rest of the way to avoid potential injury which sucked. Definitely gonna work on this next time I ski to improve
My girlfriend recently asked me when you should do a jump turn. I told her “the 80s”. Pretty rare that people are actually skiing a consistent slope of over 40 degrees
Yep - this is not for intermediates. It’s relevant for experts on extremely steep slopes. A lot more people skiing 40+ terrain today than in the 80s though
Pretty rare where you ski maybe and maybe rare on other slopes that you view from the chairlifts you ride. There’s a whole big world of skiing out there that you are not seeing!
I am still trying to get over the fear of making a jump turn down a steep, so I ended up making step turns instead. Would love to be able to do this more comfortably one day, how should I overcome that fear? 😊
Instruction doesn’t get better than this 👍👍
He’s the best!

Thanks, good advice.
Boosting off the upper ski is something I may have been missing
Excellent tutorial 😀
Excellent tips. Thanks!
Very helpful!
Gr8 content. Thanks.
More of steep instrctional targeted at backcountry
Good job 🙋

This is good stuff. Thank you 👍
thank you 👍
Nice Video 😁
Do you have a tutorial for carving?
yes but not currently on youtube I'm afraid. It's within my full course on www.alpinetutorials.com/learntoski. I just put a few samples on youtube
My tip: Just lean out. Head first. Then The back of the skis release and you can spin the skis.

@edrundle3551 lots of assumptions there...

Step turns on steeps? F*ck me your brave 😂
dont know how to do it, but try somewhere where there’s nice runout so you can’t kill yourself would probably be the answer.
