Thx, finally someone pointed it out... If this guy is a ski instructor i'd send him back into the course by his own costs due to putting people into danger.
That ain't ice, it's just very hard packed snow. Ice looks blue and your skis behave the same way as on a wide box in the park. But, yeah it's a good explanation for hard ice-like slopes.
Since when is every ice blue? Obviously you have zero idea about crystal structures of ice. U know, ice is frozen water. Yeah. And on a slope, to legally count as ice,you need to reach a certain measure of grain-size and form to count as ice,which here, I do not even need a measure it is so obvious. Try next time 💩🤳
First of all, the best way to deal with ice, is to sharpen your ski edges in a proper angle, depending on the form of your skis. If your edges are bad, you need stronger legs and reaction :-P
In Austria they teach them slope safety too. F.e. not use the entire slope for yourself to make a turn :-P or stay on a practice slope until you feel safe enough.
Grow up slalom racing on dendex and never worry about ice… it’s only powder that challenges me as they never made dry slopes deep enough! Great lesson… my kids are new skiers, I’ve got them following this channel now.
Teach your kids to NOT use an entire slope to make a turn, unless it's a tight part. Skiing is still like traffic. Slow guys to the right. Make space for fasterpeople. Or you put yourself and others in danger as well as someone speeding through the middle (and hasn't scouted enough in advance).
Roll the ski on edge and stomp on it like your are trying to break the ski in half. (That’s actually how you should skiing anyways haha) If you do that you’ll cut through pretty much any surface. The surface in this video is actually a really good surface you can carve very easily on hard snow like that.
1... do NOT, and i repeat, do NOT use an entire slope to turn just because you feel safer when there is softer snow. In all my years as a ski patrol have i never, ever, even once heard about this. Simply for the reason, it's careless about your and other people's safety if you did. Do not go off practice slope if you don't feel like staying on one side of a slope 👍🏻 Therefore, every proper ski instructor will never, ever, at any time, tell his guests to use an entire slope to make a turn easier.... 🤦🏻 Sry it's not meant bad, but this is bs...
@@RaVen-ic8mn I vehemently disagree. as a race coach and Ski instructor I can assure you that the modern skiing technique, benefits very highly from using turn shape to control speed. Usage of the full hill does not put you in any danger unless other people are skiing recklessly, and not paying attention to those that are in front of them. In the United States “the skiers responsibility code” clearly states that the uphill skiers need to yield to the downhill skiers. This isn’t to say that you should blindly trust. The other people will follow the rules. But for bidding a perfectly valid and very safe technique for controlling speed and navigating the hill due to the potential for others, reckless behavior seems to be backwards to me.
The outside ski is the ski on the outside of the turn, if you are turning to your left it would be the right ski, it changes when you initiate a new turn
If the ice is too slick to negotiate by edging, side slip down until you find snow you're comfortable with. Avoid shadows. Sometimes you only need the ice shavings of others to edge. But this isn't ice, and this guy is a crappy instructor giving the wrong advice.
WT actual F??? 1. Like all the east coasters here, that's not ice. 2. If you're on real ice, FFS, do NOT put all your weight on your DH ski. Do that (if you must) on soft cord where there's no chance of loosing that edge. At most, you should be 60% on your DH ski. You loose that edge, you have another to keep you up. You are a poor instructor.
saying “pressure” isn’t enough bc ppl have all sorts of funny ideas of how to do that. Standing right ON the outside ski with less weight on the uphill/inside ski might describe it more fully.
East coast skiiers laughing rn
I was gonna say that lol. I'm over here like what does he mean lol.
East coast of where?
@@drifty_grifty America
I was gonna say that too😂
As a Mainer it’s usually icy. So we are all used to it and ski straight over it😂
Come ski in New England USA! It’s all ice!
Or Australia 🤣🤣🤣
It’s a different type of skiing not ice skating
@@TheRealPrimeAce You missed the joke 🤣
Then you'll learn to go straight down the ice like a pro!
Cannon and loon are all ice
Save you life with outside edge. Woa!
If it's icy, just enjoy your East coast day 😊
First icy ≠ granular, second you usually can't use the full piste width

CAAAARVE THAT ICE UP BABYYYY
Bend zee knees, $50 please. 😂
As an east coast skier, that ain’t ice, that’s crust, and that’s fine to ski on. I’ve is either blue or yellow and is in blocks lol

To be fair, he used to be a professional downhill skier so he does know how to ski ice pretty well!
go fast !
Do you recommend me to do carving on very vertical routes? It wont be dangerous?
If you are okay with the speed the skis are gonna ski regardless of the pitch.

Ah yes… I always forget people call grippy “hero snow” “ice”… you left a track in the snow haha
But very good advice anyways!

What if it is steep and you don't have soft snow on the side.

C’est très important, car si la neige était meilleure, il faut absolument se mettre sur le pied intérieur!!!!!
Or you can ski in Utah where there's never any ice!
Yall must have unicorns there too.
Untrue, Utah does have some of the best snow on earth but ice can still pop up lol
I rather ice than crusty top layers
If it's icy go straight down the fall line. Why my guy turning on ice lol
Nononono, please dont use the full slope, please god no. Ur just gonna make it awful to pass you.
Danger
what part is exactly the "outside ski"?
Basically if your are going across the ski that is more down the hill is the outside ski
Outside ski = downhill ski essentially … and the pressure should be on the inside of the outside ski 😂
The outside ski is the ski on the outside of the turn, if you are turning to your left it would be the right ski, it changes when you initiate a new turn
The one outdoors, as opposed to the inside ski, which is situated indoors.
@@thomasj2835 wtf u talking man?

Umm... So ski with a big traverse and dead spot? Man, these carv videos are terrible!
Terrible camera work. You should have maintained the shot from behind. You lost the frame of reference
