- Want to move your skiing up to the next level, and carve out some big arcs? Janus is here to help with this guide to move from steered parallel turns to full-on carving turns.
Janus Hecht from @InspirationalSkiing, a Danish National Ski School Examiner, is here to show you how to bump up your ski IQ and really feel the G Force, as you lay down some big angles.
He shares his top tips tailored to intermediate skiers, helping you carve effortlessly down the mountain. Try Disco Legs, Pole Locks, and more drills to move up to the next level and get the control and speed every skier is looking for.
Janus is using Carv, a tool that measures pressure and motion to give real-time feedback whilst skiing. With Carv you know objectively every aspect of your skiing, at each point of the turn, so you can see exactly where you need to focus to improve in your next run and carve those perfect arcs.
Thanks @InspirationalSkiing for skiing with us!

Is it only me that thinks that Janus is probably the friendliest ski instructor :-) ? Thank you!
We think he’s pretty cool as well!
I've been skiing for 40 years - this is a very good tutorial!
We’re glad it helped Ken
Thanks for your comment, @KENFEDOR22. I am happy you like the video and I hope you will have a great season. /Janus
Love Janus ! Thanks for
7:21 - inside foot is my friend 😆 forever
Nice spotted, @OrlovIV! Yeah I kindda got saved a little bit by my inside ski, right there 😆 I think it is exciting to explore my limits and then that sometimes happens. /Janus
Thanks @InspirationalSkiing for the great lesson and drills!
It was awesome working with you guys! /Janus
Beautiful
Thank you
2 things I did once I had reached intermediate level was to ditch my beginner boots and buy advanced boots and the second thing I did after doing a demo was to buy GS race skis. I felt with this combination of gear it would eliminate the possibility of gear limiting my progress as with skiing on top end gear it lets you know if you are not skiing it right. I did not find the transition to advanced boots and race skis difficult at all and saw myself buying a new experience for my money. To know if you are carving or not try and pretend as you go down the mountain someone wants to take a photo of the base of your skis when you edge.
Salutations to you and especially your talented photographers 🥰
Thank you so much!
Thank you! Yes, the photographer (Mark) did an amazing job! /Janus
Great stuff!
Thanks Richard!
Thank you, @MrKalrich! I hope you will have an amazing ski season. /Janus
Tak for video Janus. :)
Velbekomme, @anthalasdaelith! 😊 Jeg håber, at videoen vil hjælpe dig til at forbedre dit skiløb og at du får en herlig vinter med masser af skiløb. /Janus
Спасибо большое, очень полезные уроки🙋🏻♂️
Instructors always use the phrase “balance on your outside ski”, when their center of gravity is nowhere near being over their skis at all. I know they know what they mean, but it’s the wrong term. Their center of downhill force may be on the outside ski, but not balance. I wish someone would help clarify so we students can better grasp the mission.
This is because when skiing we are dealing with and reacting to additional forces created by our downhill speed.
To try and simplify, let us think of our centre of mass as our torso. When standing still with no additional forces acting on us we would keep our torso directly over the foot we wish to balance on. If we now accelerate straight forward we could continue to balance on one foot by leaning our torso slightly forward - we must counter the new and additional force acting on us - but we are still balancing on one foot.
If we now wish to turn we are adding new forces that in turn we must react to. Think of a motorcyclist, to turn he must lean over, his torso has moved inside the turn yet he remains balanced on his tires because his speed provides the force to keep him balanced.
As a skier our outside ski is the equivalent of that tire. If we have sufficient speed as we press on our outside skiing and roll it onto an edge then we use the sidecut of the ski to direct that speed across the hill. If our torso remained perpendicular to our foot we would fall over down the hill so we must move our torso inside the turn to remain balanced. All of our weight is pressing down through that outside ski so we are in truth balancing on our outside ski.
I hope that helps.
A joy to see Carv is back.
I been wanting a better pair of skis and recently got Head wcr i.speed pros. So, i'm awaiting the snow!
Hope it comes soon for you!
What leg is your weight on, because when I tried I think I put my weight on my inside leg but that made the outside ski catch on the ice as I think I was pulling it up the slope
Я уже катаюсь три года на лыжах. Карвинговые повороты пока не получаются. Буду брать инструктора.
Хорошая идея @Kuper133! Инструктор может оказать большую помощь. Я также надеюсь, что это видео было полезным, и я верю, что этой зимой вы получите свои первые карвинговые повороты, если действительно приложите к этому усилия. Хорошего дня! /Janus
@@InspirationalSkiing Спасибо!🤙🤝
Takker
⛷great
Thanks, @dinelli1578! I am happy you like the video. Have a great ski season. /Janus
Carving is not locked up hip dumping or heel pushing and making 50 meter turns on 15 meter tools!😂😂😂
Interesting how there is no discussion on your hands and shoulders staying straight down the fall line to get the angulation you must have in order to carve a turn. But what do I know after 61 years of skiing and racing. Skiing is really about where your hands are, watch any great racer and tell me I'm wrong. Your hands get behind you and your toast.
Thanks for your input, @user-ej8sg4pp2m. You are definitely right that your hands are important, and getting them behind your body will disturb your balance.
This is a video for carving beginners and not all carving topics can be covered here, only a few tips that can help people do a beginner carving turn instead of a skidded turn.
When you are doing longer radius turns you don't have to have your shoulders staying straight down the fall line to get angulation enough to do a cleanly carved turn. Overdoing an shoulder orientation down the hill in longer radius carving turns wont be helpful in my opinion, since it will create a locked position with limited movement ability.
In shorter radius turns, having your shoulders pointing down the hill while your legs are doing the movement is really helpful to carve cleanly with no skidding. I show that in the Pole Lock drill. This is at least how I see it.
I hope you will have a wonderful ski season. /Janus
