You think that's ice... 😂😂😂
Thank you Katie I have skied for years. I have just come back from the indoor Snowcedntre in Hemel Hempstead, England. And am very excited! Thank for the excellent video, I have been struggling for some time to make more than a smidgen of progress despite trying. Even when using Carv, combined with ski instruction, progress had been elusive. Thanks to your video, I concluded that without me being aware, I had been “hip dumping”, moving to the inside of the turn too soon. But now some success! I concentrated on the skills in your video (I largely used the Edge Similarity Monitor in Carv), and at long last, my Ski IQ bumped itself up to 116 (from 101, 106 and 107). The progress came after reaching the Edge Rolls skills sequence and then it happened, I could hear the scores bumping up! Yeh! Wow! Lots of work for this keen 79 year old to do but VERY excited and VERY pleased. Thank you.
We’re so glad the drills helped
Best product ever
We're glad you think so!
"a bit of a knock-on effect of balance edging"?
I have watched many tutorials like this. As a beginner I thought he explained the technique very well. We arrived yesterday, I'm watching this in my hotel room and in about an hour we gonna give it a try.
Maintain counter and quick to the outside ski by bending the inside leg.
Standing up is valid… at low speeds.
Lift inside hip is good. I Like your channel and tips but I do think pulling the inside hip up is slightly more effective.
Just look at Petra, the slalom leader in the Alpine Women's World Cup, and you'll understand that he's right.
Stroking the ski is sometimes used to describe fore/aft balance. Informative video; thanks !
Easy to do if you’re a competent skier while doing shorter turns close to the fall line. Not so much when the skier makes rounder turns.
While skiing, when you get the feeling that you are walking on clouds, then that is the ultimate pleasure.
You in Chile? I recognize Valle Nevado and El Colorado!!!
What an amazing video.... Hoping to see Odi trying out carv soon
Да как вы так ездите!!!???
Simply the BEST ever!!!
Perfect explanation as usual! Great to see a coworker showing how great ! SALUDOS TOMI!
Glad you liked it!
edging goated
A new turn starts when you cross the fall line. The uphill ski is the new turn's outside ski. Pressure the uphill edge of the uphill ski while leaning diagonally down the hill. Pinch at the waist. Angulation. Leaning uphill bad. (1.50) Leaning downhill good.
You demonstrated leaning uphill when you press the uphill edge of the uphill ski. What about leaning downhill when you're pressuring the uphill/ outside edge of the uphill ski. Angulation.

czcams.com/video/mhicXBZdA1I/video.htmlsi=lGaRunVwv5y63z8d
I can't help but wonder when humanoid robots will be made that are better than human to display perfection.
Who is the coach here and where does he work? Would be worth seeking out.
Very good ,very good,but…… maybe point down the min. Level you need to start this phase off advanced carving,tell something about the required material,such as what kind off ski ,edge angles and scharpness,state ( snowquality, and angle) off the required piste you will use to do this exercise,instead off making publicity for an electronic ski app?
Perhaps test against these other two since you already have Ted. They are arguably the greatest technical skiers of our time. czcams.com/video/Kp1b0RO9VLM/video.htmlsi=QwdaNNsmWu834boS
классно.
Pararel turns!
Former CSIA level 2 here. I love the inside tap exercise, it's superb for getting progressing intermediates to get the feeling of pressuring the outside ski when turning. It's worked on everyone from kids to teenagers and even my wife. Great content to share the knowledge!
Seeing the Boomerang, I-70, & The Wall run signs brought back so many personal memories of Aspen Highlands from my 1984 to 1994 frequenting when the Maroon Creek Lodge became the lone base lodging option in 1985... that is, until the current monstrosity of a base village unfortunately forever changed the Highlands. The Wall is great. Suzi Q & Moment of Truth are gems, too. Always enjoyed combo'ing The Alps into I-70 as well.
About six years ago I was teaching a group of kids at PCMR (Park City) and for fun we went to the NASTAR course to take some laps. I was on tele gear and poorly tuned skis. Ted had the top time (of course) so I decided to have some fun. After about 1/3 of the way through the course I just straight lined the remainder, not making any turns. Ted's time was still more than two seconds faster than mine on a 19 second course.
There are some fundamentals that people do not understand about carving and edge angle: #1: The arc a ski will carve is a function of TWO factors - Edge Angle + Load on the ski. This is why racers ski on stiffer skis. They are going faster (more load) and using higher edge angles (bending the ski into a tighter curve). Put a racer on a recreation carving ski, and he/she will bend it so much is starts to bind and skid from being over flexed out of an arc. #2 - Performance carving skis are designed to turn with all the load ON ONE SKI. This means that if you turn with weight on both skis, you are by definition spreading the load across two skis. You have two moderately loaded skis instead of one fully loaded ski. You will turn a larger arc for a given edge angle. REPEAT - With the SAME EDGE ANGLE, if you ski on one ski you will carve a much tighter arc than if you ski on two skis at the same edge angle. #3 - When you ski at a high level - High Edge Angles + all the load on the outside ski, the edge angle is determined by how fast you are going, and the arc that you are turning. END OF STORY. For a given speed and turn arc radius (turning G-force), there is only one correct edge angle. If you try to increase your edge angles while turning at a speed and turn radius that does not warrant it, you will actually be skiing incorrectly. You will be manipulating your body, or putting weight on the inside ski to enable edge angles that are incorrect. Hint...ski racers do not worry about edge angles...they worry about going faster. The edge angles are a result. This is the fundamental issue with this video. Charlie is going TOO SLOW for the edge angle he puts on the outside ski. So...the turning forces (square to the base of the ski) do not create enough vertical component to support his center of mass. As such, he has to put a lot of weight on his inside ski to keep from falling over...in other words he skis incorrectly because he has set up an incorrect goal - edge angle in a vacuum. I mean that is...REALLY BAD SKIING. The fact that Carv would give such bad skiing a 147 is mind boggling. You already KNOW THIS intuitively. Imagine going 10 mph on GS skis, the laying them over to 60 degrees! What will happen? You will FALL OVER. When skiing on ONE SKI, the relationship between edge angle and turning force is a function of gravity and physics. Assume you are standing on ONE SKI, and in a steady state high load turn. You are not falling over, and you are not getting stood up by the turning forces. You are in EQUILIBRIUM. The ski can only produce significant force PERPENDICULAR to the BASE. Assume your edge angle is 60 degrees, and you are AT the fall line....in other words....you are a high level ski racer. What MUST the turning force be for you to be in equilibrium? With an edge angle of 60 degrees, the angle of the force vector is 30 degrees to the snow. The acceleration from gravity acting to pull down your center of mass is 1g. The Sin of 30 degrees is .5. That means you must be turning at a combination of speed and turning radius to produce 2g to not fall over onto the snow. That means if you weigh 200# and are standing on one ski, and you are in equilibrium (like a GS turn) at the fall line, the force on your loaded foot / ski is 400#. In case you are wondering that is a LOT. At 70.5 degrees....the force in your leg increases to 600#. There are only a few people on the planet that can do that consistently. What is really funny is the Carv "g-force" web page used to show a chart of edge angle vs g forces....and they clearly used the exact same math above. 45 deg = 1.707G 60 deg = 2.0 G 70 deg = 2.9 G.... But they recently edited the web page and took out the chart. I guess the truth of edge angles is not consistent with business. People want to believe that skiing is all about edge angles. IT IS NOT. There is a LOT more to it than that. The reality is most people, even so called advanced skiers rarely come remotely close to using 45 degree edge angles when standing ONE ONE SKI. Almost all of the edge angle heroes achieve high angles by skiing INCORRECTLY. The believe that edge angles are the goal, and actually ski improperly - at higher angles than their speed and turning radius warrant. The primary way they do this is by putting A LOT OF WEIGHT ON THE INSIDE SKI, and manipulating their body, with a lot of early turn counter and side break, to MOVE THEIR CENTER OF MASS OUTWARD. This is kooky skiing. Here is an example of achieving high edge angles by doing both these things. czcams.com/video/IrWg-EfNVBw/video.html Ski like this on an infused race hill and you will be on your butt 1st turn. Now...this is a VERY good skier. 99th percentile. And if he is having fun....power to him. But this should not be represented as "correct" skiing. He is probably 60/40 on his weight distribution and the body position at the fall line is weak...no stacked. There is NO WAY to carry 2G+ loads with this type of skiing. It is weak skiing. Even his description of the clip acknowledges this...."Just a laid back big edge angle carving clip" If you want to ski properly with high edge angles...you should start by learning to do this, with 45 degree+ edge angles all day long: czcams.com/video/KV5DIRBczFs/video.html If you can do this, and you want higher edge angles...THEN GO FASTER. The faster you go, the more you have to incline to stay in balance. At about 60 degrees...you will get to the point where even with raising your inside ski...it will be back on the snow.
But................does Ted ski with tunes on?
Components to the discussion: ski turn radius. Desired turn shape. Steepness of the run. Hardness of the snow. These variables are Critical to the discussion. Things like : upper body alignment: like outside elbow held high vs low. Inside hand / shoulder rotation rotation. Outside ski weight/ pressure dominance.
She makes it look so easy. Can I please ski with you? Excellent Video.
This was an amazing experience. I am going to by the Carve system as a result. I want to turn like Ted next season!!
Нихуя не понял! Но интересно!
Why it’s almost impossible for *me* to ski like Ted? I refuse to let my heels be held captive, so I’ll never ski like him!
How much does the ski type the skier is skiing factor into the rating system? i.e. if you use a 100 or a 110 ski underfoot versus a race ski? Is it different for an olympic level skier versus say a good instructor?
Great advice & instruction BUT the kind of ski you select really matters! Choose a bit shorter ski with some rocker and strong edge like a Volkl Blaze 94 - that would be much easier on black diamond mogul runs than a full camber ski that's a bit longer.
Its very easy
With the right snow, the proper edge preparation, the right ski shape, the right ski construction, you can find it's not letting go and higher edge angles are possible.
Always love watching Ted ski! :) I am 42 years old, ski instructor and Ted has been a great inspiration to me for many years! I grew up wanting to ski-race professionally, but being born in Denmark it was extremely difficult for me to achieve, and as such I didn't. But my love for skiing has endured, and next season I will most likely be working in St. Anton, Austria, but if not, then I will head back to Utah (where I was exchange student in 1999), go to Deer Valley and see if I can find Ted :D
There is an awesome community of Carv users in Deer Valley & Park City who also share your passion for skiing. You should hit them up if you go!
What makes you all believe that not every professional skier can manage what Ted is doing here? That "top instructor" is just falling inside his turns, and he uses the outside ski in the end of his turns to start his fall. Both video and Carv data shows it. How do you not see that? Don't understand why they have the "top instructor" data in the video. Jamies turns are obviously very good, just not in a steep enough hill.
Our top instructor is widely regarded as an amazing skier by their peers and our team - he consistently scores above other professional skiers on our leaderboards
@@CarvSki None of that disregards my points. Comparing different skiing techniques does not make Ted/Jamies way of skiing worse or better. One could ski to make the best numbers in Carv, but the top instructor is not doing that here. The data shows it, and I am not saying he can't.
This is actually a very good video. Thanks!
Glad you liked it!
As an Austrian Ski Instructor I see so many wannabee teacher.. you are one of the very view that explains it perfect in every way...
Logical because the maximum outside pressure is reached when the skis become parallel to the slope. The minimum or zero outside pressure, (flat skis) is reached when the skis are perpendicular) 90deg) to the slope. Therefore, the beginning of weight shifting or transfer begins at the apex of the turn. The good skier is the one who can tell exactly when his skis become perfectly parallel to the slope(Ie, determine when the apex of the turn is reached). This is the most difficult part. Needs milage!!! Conclusion:Tomas has described it perfectly well.
I wish I could have him as my instructor
Really good video, spoilt by using the F word, do you not have a bigger vocab than that? Yer sure Ted is a good skier, he’s an Olympic champ, dedicated his life to turning. Turning though GS gates is totally different to turning on the piste. Most people “park and ride”, Ted contributes to build pressure and angle so always has grip. Nice to see how smooth he is too.
