Thanks MairKlaus, this video has helped me a lot. I felt I've developed my carving from nothing to fairly decent over the last few weeks. But a question: is the end part (5:15 onwards) pure carving, or some combination of carving and hopping or...? I don't know, it just looks different. I find carving in a short radius very difficult. Any quick tips for working on that?
Thanks for your ... ( 5 months ago by MairKlaus)
Thanks for your feedback. To be able to carve a short turn you first need to find the feeling for the edge in the bigger turn. Then it is a matter of improving your fundamental skills. e.g. that you are able to create enough outside ski pressure, move in the right place and avoid any disturbing motions, esp. with your upper body. On my DVD you can find lessons on the main fundamentals as well as drills to further work on your carved short turns. P.S.:There is no hopping involved. Happy Easter!

i so seriously want to be able to do that. So Klaus, if i understand correct, you say to keep the poles at home at first? That would mean avoiding the steaper slopes, because you would need poles on red/black?
You definetly want ... ( 2 months ago by MairKlaus)
You definetly want to pick an easier slope for your first carved turns. It makes it easier to have some speed, but if the forces get too big you might start to slide again. It is not necessary to start without poles. I just like to do it like this as it makes people realize that this is something new and it helps with the drill i am showing.

Excelent videos. I ... ( 1 month ago by lobo3456)
Excelent videos. I have a simple question. I can`t really understand what is happening inside the boot. Everybody says to lean forward and rest on the shins, but when I do it, I feel the tip of the skis seem to sway around in front of me. I feel like I loose the grip on the ski. This just makes me lean back again, even if I know its wrong. Are you suppoesed to lift the toes or what?? i hope you have some last tip up your sleeve to help me out.
You should feel the ... ( 1 month ago by MairKlaus)
You should feel the pressure equally on the whole foot. In no case should you lift your toes, as this simply takes away important sensory information. That the skis become unstable probably means that you are out of balance. Too much pressure on the front or back part of the ski. Especially at the beginning of the new turn you should try to move your body/hips forward and get your shins to push against the tounge of the boot. Greets to Chile. Klaus

Thank you for your feedback! It is of course always better if you can get quality ski instruction on snow and you will have no trouble finding that in Austria. As your time on snow is probably limited though i think it is a good idea to get some work done before the holidays. Like this you will be able to learn faster and get the most out of your ski trip.
