- Learn from Kili, a swiss instructor how to shred those slopes properly on your edge.

I understood why we need short lengths pols than long ones on carving turns. Thanks for your sharing about it. Have a great winter season.
Good tip on the poles
Keep smiling - это круто, молодец)
I love this sport
Great video!!!!
A kind question for you: for 1.80cm skier tall, wich length of ski tips do you recommend?
Классно! Хорошая техника.
I was there in march 2021. Was great, empty slopes, no queues and wonderful weather. 6 days = cost 1000 CHF, hotel Terrace
Swiss.....good price
cool!
Hello. Could you please share your height and ski length and ski radius? Thanks.
Keep smiling ✌️
Uffff the same "tip of the ski stears" legend!!! It's incredible how most ski instructors don't actualy understand/don't accept how a carving ski turns....
You forgot to tell about the lateral separation of the skis. And you yourself do have (a natural) fore-aft separation of the feet.
:) nice, but do you have a separate poles for each skiing style? Because I don't... :( You still can keep poles a bit more parallel to the ground.
you can buy adjustable ski poles. i have them
What do you do with the poles? I switched to skis from snowboard and I only use poles when I need to maintain speed on a flat section
@@OnceABustAlwaysABust At least with me, they help with balance.
helps with rythm and balance@@OnceABustAlwaysABust
cool .....
This video on how to carve like a pro pretty much consists of a good skier, telling you "Carve like a pro!"
That is it. End of lesson. LOL
😂😂😂
99.9999999999999% of the world's instructors teach pretty much like that. All show and no tell.
No you wasn’t paying attention and missed the key elements to pro carving: short poles and smile 😂
@@OnceABustAlwaysABust LOL....
Actually...I will give you a useful tip. Concentrate on initiating your turn well above the fall line! This is critical to advanced carving / GS racing, and if you are not yet doing this, it will dramatically improve your skiing. Freeze the video at 0:10 where the carved track is visible. If that were my turn, I would be frowning. Not good. The heaviest pressure on the edge should be ABOVE the fall line. When the snow is soft, and I can see my edge trails from a lift, etc, the best turns are when I develop edge pressures very very early, and by the time I get to the fall line, the edge pressure us already diminishing! Use gravity to help you turn. If you initiate the turn late, relative to the fall line, you will likely get pushed back because you are fighting both turning forces and gravity. Try it...it will totally change your carving.
All comes down to the ski shape, if the ski is too curved it will make aggressive curved or over turn & loss control.
You want a ski with a slight curve & allow the weight & foot do the turning, not the ski like with a big curved ski
very true
@@AlexOsh actually not true at all. Sidecut depth is only one of a large number of factors of equal significance. A good skier, even an intermediate can make short turns on a shallow sidecut and long ones on a deep sidecut with very few adjustments in technique.
that's so untrue. skiing comes down to: 95% skill of the skier, 5% the material that the skier uses. you can use any technique with any ski, it's just a question of how easy it's gonna be
the last one is most important
What sharpening edge do you use? 87 side-edge and 0.5 base-edge?
He (Kili Weibel) got 87° and 0.7°
Whenever a ski pro tries to demonstrate faulty movement patterns, it never comes across as realistic.
And drink Rivella !
:D ...weniger Erklärungen/ Anweisungen im Kopf haben ist beim Carving essentiell. Es braucht nur die Grund Stellung, einen freien Kopf und den Rest, also wir der Ski gefahren werden will muss gefühlt werden. ...von dem her ist das ein gutes Video.
:))
It probably took longer to make the trick with the helmet at the end of the video than to film the rest /or/ editing the video! lol

00:55 - Omfg, That looks like me!! *realises that it's an example of bad skiing* Aww f##k...
good skier, bad instructor
Most are!
I möcht gern carve lerne. Fahr mega gern aber z carve isch mr a z herz gwachse, wie gseht‘s us? Sind sie no da? Würd gern meh lerne! Liebe gruess, gery 😊⛷️🎿
lol
And buy some GS skis?
Not necessarily GS. If you don't want to go fast then SL ones will turn tighter.
Archive this stuff. Sking will soon be distant memory. Thanks to greed and development!
Come to Japan, the countryside is emptying out, lots more room to ski.
Give it a rest pal
0:55 This is an exaggerated view of the correct way to start a new turn by positioning your upper body and changing your weight FROM THE FACE DOWN, not from your feet up. Your upper body faces and leans down the hill as you pull your weight off your downhill foot so the uphill ski can make the turn with no lateral knee bending or rolling your ankles over. No "Tipping" or "Toppling." No twisting or steering of the feet. No extension or flexion. No talk about pressure, transition or any other BS that doesn't teach skiing. Just face down the hill and get off your downhill foot and balance on your uphill foot. Period! That's It!
This explanation here is spot on! I realised that shifting my weight on the skis literally caused me to change direction!
@@lankyda Thanks for the compliment. Today's skis are so well designed that they will "Change Direction" with the slightest lateral movement of any part of your body. Unless it is done the correct way, the skis won't make "Turns." All the "Tipping and Toppling" you hear about is nothing but a shift of the skis from edge to edge with none of the correct body positioning or weight location to allow the skis to actually bend and create an arch for a full turn. When your speed starts picking up, that's when people will see the uselessness of Just rolling the skis over.
@@JB91710 I would agree! I’ve noticed that the really good skiers especially around in Austria on the black pistes tend to literally jump side to side causing a slight ‘slide’ when trying to control the speeds they’re going at as well as carving at the same time.
Changing weight from the head and lifting skis is what makes bad skiiers. They tip, lean, over rotate, stem turn, lack stability and unable to progress because they lack a solid foundation.
@@lankyda Just being on the edge of the skis is not necessarily "Carving." Carving is when you LET the design of the skis make and control the entire turn from start to finish by positioning your upper body correctly and changing your weight the right way and at the right time. Nobody teaches that correctly. NOBODY! Everybody focusses on the feet instead.
What you described is forcing the skis to Change Direction with a up and twisting motion and then landing hard on the edges so it Looks Like they are carving. If you look closely at their skis, they are going straight to the right and then straight to the right. To control their speed, they have to do that even harder because the ski isn't bending enough to complete any of those turns.
In my video on my channel, does it Look Like I am forcing my skis to turn at all, or am I just standing on them and letting them turn on their own. All I have to do when the speed and steepness picks up, is do what I SAY in my comments, to greater extreme. Face and lean down the hill more and lean my upper body, from my face down to my pelvis, into the turn more to create a steeper leg angle. No jumping and twisting required. All the best skiers do exactly what I say, they just don't know how to tell YOU!
It probably took longer to make the trick with the helmet at the end of the video than to film the rest /or/ editing the video! lol
this was actually the second try...obviously it was generally not the first time Kilian was doing this trick.
