This is literally the best drill there is to take your carving to a higher level. It builds inside ski control, which is a must to drive the inside knee to achieve vertical separations for high edge angles. If you have a very wide, and very moderate hill, a great drill is to do these angling more down the fall line than a normal Garland. You need the fall line speed so that when you turn down the hill (the easy/normal turn) you gain some side to side ski momentum. This brings the ski under you and sets a higher initial edge angle for the harder, inside ski turn back up the hill. Do these across the hill, 4 or 5 turns, then make a long turn down the fall line, and back the other way fully on your outside ski, like a Javelin turn. Then, once you are set going the other way, switch to your new uphill ski. Repeat a few thousand times. One other tip is to slightly arch your back and tilt your pelvic bone forward till you feel your glutes activate. This will put you in a stronger leg position. Combine this with a very very subtle bit of counter for the hard inside ski turn up the hill. In other words, when you go to initiate your turn up the hill, counter down the hill in conjunction with that pelvic bone tilt. This creates a very subtle hip angulation that is hard for anyone else to even see, but it totally changes the ability to edge that weak inside edge. Watch the Burke Mountain One ski drill vid at 10s, 13s and 18s. See how the skier, when starting the difficult inside edge turn has the hips slightly countered. This is KEY to enabling control of the inside ski tipping angle early in the turn.

Super technics!

Even when Ted Ligety freeskis he is the fastest freeskier out there :)

So there's only one line thru a turn for every kind of racer?

would have liked the music to be louder and more aggressive

fantastic .....

I find that if I can have the feeling of tipping a ski from my big toe it provides the correct motivation and muscle alignment to minimize for aft balance. Setting this goal of balance as though you were a dancer light on your feet. If you can complete the carve portion of your turn from the ball of your foot you will tune out things that throw you out of balance. From the moment of changing edges you are reaching with the length of your leg, make it reaching with the toes to get maximum tipping of the ski.

Great video and great advice. We need to work hard but also make it fun. Ted sets a great example carving and accelerating.

Lol

It's good to see a pole plant now and then.

I slowed down Mikaela's video at the end, her classic move of standing on the uphill ski and tipping the downhill ski. I could see what she was talking about, letting the skis go ahead and she was basically turning with the tails of the skis only on the snow. At 2:40 she made the transition in mid-air.

Get off the groomers.

That’s it??? Even my 80 years old grandmother can do camera better. XD

Ted is racing even when free skiing.

Neat drill, isolates the weight transfer in transition better than the regular hands-on-knee drill.

One racer in this video seems to know what she's talking about and one skier in this video wins. Coincidence?

If your content is not the best play some hyper high energy music to cover up. Thumbs down on the video. Poor and incomplete explanation of the drill and purpose.

I like Makaela's tip best.

WHO could give a T-down to this?

Hi, this is Sarah from Topical Television. We are making a BBC show called Close Calls about a skier who was lost and subsequently rescued by the mountain rescue team. We need to use some reconstruction scenes for the show and wondered if we could get permission to use a small section of this clip of the slide slipping. The person skiing would not be seen nor any other people, it would just be the skis and the slide slipping. I would be very grateful if you could get in touch sarah.claridge@topical.co.uk

The connection with the ground or snow is in the feet. Balance is a bottom up process. What are you not thinking???

wrong steps

Best cameraman xD

A rather heated discussion on ski technique. All I know is that Ligety and "Boola Bear" are awesome skiers, and Boola's brother is one of best tele bump skiers you'll ever see.

Thanks mate! Yes I am aware of the fact that uphill/inside leg may be slightly ahead, but only in the final phase of the turn. My goal is elimination of pushing inside leg forward at the beginning of the turn. Such initiation brings many problems, these can be: too much weight on inside ski, hip dump, aframe etc Of course I am not fixed on PMTS but so far this "model" does address major part of my problems.
