- The Hockey Stop on skis is an awesome move, that will allow you to stop with parallel skis whenever you want. In this video I share some of my favorite tips and exercises to help you achieve The Hockey Stop.
As a bonus tip, I share how the hockey stop can help you learn your first short turns on skis.
WARNING
With The Hockey Stop you will be able to spray a lot of snow. Even though it might be tempting, it is dangerous and an absolutely no go to spray your
friends. The risk of miscalculating your movement,
the snow conditions or the stability of
your equipment is way too high.
If you are a beginner on skis and want to learn how to stop on skis, I have made this video for you:

I am a late starter with skiing (in my 50s - better late than never!), and I inadvertently learned the hockey stop during an early lesson when my instructor mistakenly took me down a black run. At least, I was convinced it was a black run; turns out it was in fact the easiest green run on the mountain where the instructors take their students first time off the bunny hill, but at the time it looked like a black run to me. Possibly fourteen black diamonds.
your not in your 50s lil bro
Good thing you learned the Hockey Stop. And luckily skiing is a great life time activity! I hope you are still skiing and have started to feel the thrill of being in control as you go down the hill. /Janus
@@cl4pp7287why not
This was funny. I started 3 weeks ago, I am 43.
@@cl4pp7287he is lil bro😂
Very nervous, I skied for the first time in February. Went down all the green slopes from the top successfully. but at the end of the day I fell hard on the LAST slope and sprained my knee badly… but I want to try again
Hi mikayla. Sounds like a bad experience, and I hope you have a better one the next time. It is certainly good that you are doing some research like watching videos like this one. We also have some step by step how to ski guides that you might find helpful. Preparing your body for skiing will help give you confidence and reduce the risk of injury. We do have a few videos about that as well, I hope this helps. Have a nice day! /Janus
After this pandemic I’m going skiing again and this will help me when I need to stop as it didn’t go quite well last time I done it😅
Yeah, a weeb. I am also looking very much forward to ski again (hopefully soon). I hope this will help you, when you get the chance to ski again. Have a nice day! /Janus
Same. I can't do Pizza stop well on steeper slope so I am trying this next
@@SkyHermit yeah sometimes I slip but I’m going to try and stop side ways
@@nezuxiiko1021 Have you tried Pizza stop?
@@SkyHermit Good to hear. I suggest you try this on a very gentle slope first before you move on to steeper slopes. I hope it works for you. Have a nice day! /Janus
Congrats man, your video is first when I searched up “ how to stop skiing” here’s your crown king 👑
This is awesome, Average bald game fan, equals GIGA CHAD. Thanks for letting us know and thanks for the crown. I will wear it proudly and respectfully humble. It fuels our energy to create more awesome content for you guys. Have a nice day! /Janus
I managed to sort of learn this on my own one time. I fell on the teleski midway up the hill, and didn't reach the slope i was trying to get to. I had to go down the slope i fell on instead, which was a red, so i was really scared. When i started skiing down my speed went up quicker than it ever had, so i decided to just twist my legs sideways to slow down and it worked. From then on i kept skiing reds the whole afternoon, and anything less steep just felt too slow. Can't wait to hit the slopes again
Thats an awesome story, Ivan Bastos. Thanks for sharing it with us all here. It is a real life example of the difference it can make in ones skiing once you start getting the Hockey stop move. I hope you will have a blast when you hit the slopes again. /Janus
This is all I needed to practice my hockey stop. Now I feel a lot more confident on steeper slopes. Thank you!
You are most welcome, Marcel. We are happy you found our video helpful. It is great to hear you feel more confident on steeper slopes. A good tip is to practice at easier slopes to begin with and then gradually move on to steeper and steeper slopes. Have fun with and have a nice day! /Janus
I appreciate the people that take the time to learn this skill, because all of the other people doing that awful swerving thing get in everyone’s way, and make snowboarders mad. When this is more effective and easier to execute.
Thanks for your comment, Dunder Mifflin. The Hockey Stop is for sure a great move to have in ones tool box. Have a nice day! /Janus
Nice and useful video, especially for the option of linking hockey stops to form short turns.
Good idea to use this technique on steep and narrow runs👍.
Looking forward to more videos
Thanks for your comment, Igor Ferdman. I am happy, you like the video. Yes, I agree that linking hockey stops to a form of short turns can be a good way to deal with steep and narrow runs. Have a nice day! /Janus
Great tutorial, I'll definitely be doing this on my trip coming up
Nice, thorough instruction and tips, can’t wait to try this! Thanks Janus!
You are welcome, @jimadkins8877. I hope you will find it helpful. Have a nice day! /Janus
This is so important, thanks for sharing!
You are so welcome, diggi! And yes, The Hockey Stop is truly an important skill to have when you are skiing. Have a nice day! /Janus
I ve been watching your videos a week ago cuz Im going to ski trip for the first time in my life.i found it helpful but practicing is the best🙏
You are right, @nedra9251. You must practice skiing to learn skiing. I am happy you found my tips helpful. /Janus
Thank you this video was very helpful! I skated a few years prior to learning how to ski but I never really got the hang of the hockey stop. These are some great tips and I’m hoping to hit the slopes soon! (If it ever snows where I live haha!)
Thanks for your comment, Lauren Letzelter! Yeah, we don't get a ton of snow here in Denmark either, sometimes not even a single snowflake during the winter. A few weeks back we had a few days with a little bit of snow, just enough for me to take my daughter on a very tiny hill (not a ski hill, just a random hill close by) and we managed to ski a little bit. That was suc a good experience. I wish a lot of snow and blue skis for you, and I hope you will have success with The Hockey Stop, when you get back on skis. /Janus
Bro, this tutorial saved me. I used the PUTS technique and went from beginner to intermediate in 1 day. You're the man
Wow, that's amazing. Good job, Louis Cruz! Keep practicing and you will keep improving. Have a nice day! /Janus
Super video! Thank you! 🎉

Janus, you explain everything so well, so uncomplicated. teach me please....for my first lesson and just for fun and to get to know my strengths and weaknesses on the snow, teach me to do whirly turns, I've tried for ten years! still can t do them.
Thanks for your comment, Mark Hayley! I am very happy you like my style of teaching. We have actually planned a video about how to do whirley turns, or pirouettes as we call them in Denmark. So stay tuned for next Northern winter, where it is likely to be released. Have a nice day! /Janus

I’m over 40 yrs old. Snowboard and played hockey my whole life. Now I’m going to learn how to ski. I’m hoping all my skills on skates will translate and transfer to skiing so I can keep up with my young kids who are bombing it down the mountain on skis. Thanks for the lessons!
Thanks for you comment, Tom Zeto! I am currently 41 myself and skiing with my 4 year old daughter is the best. I am sure some of your skills will transfer into skiing. Feel free to let me know how it goes. /Janus
@@InspirationalSkiing I learned with YT lessons like yours in 2 days. day 1: pizza, turns, stop, hockey stop. day 2: parallel turns with high edging on blue runs. doing multiple sports really helped me to learn fast. Skiing is super fun and my poor snowboards will now rest in storage for a while.
Thats awesome@@tomzeto ! Thanks for letting me know how it went! I am always happy to read these experiences. I am sure you can reach new levels on skis this winter. All the best! /Janus
I just went skiing and I need to learn how to stop quickly, imma try this next time I go skiing. Thanks!
You got this, Peanut butter! Be careful and start out easy but with some commitment. Hockey Stop is definitely the way to go if you want to stop quickly. /Janus
You balance on the outside ski, drive your knees into the tongue of your boot which takes your weight off the tails and then rotate your knees into the turn and the tips of your skis will be loaded, the tips will bend, and they will make an instant turn as the tails slide around.
Thanks 🙏🏻
You’re welcome, Only Singh 😊 Have a nice day! /Janus
Super useful and short!
Do you have aby video about curving?
Thanks for your comment, Trade Made! I am happy you found the video helpful. We don't currently have any videos directly on carving, but we have something lined up, so stay tuned on the channel :-) /Janus
Wundabar!
Thank you, Chris Martineson! /Janus
Your videos are very good, are you going to place one of the carving style? techniques
Thanks for your comment, leonardoporrasv! We are happy that you like the videos. We constantly try to make our videos better and fill them with helpful content. A video about carving technique is a great idea. We definitely want to include carving technique in some of our future content, so stay tuned. Have a nice day! /Janus
Thank you
You are welcome, Shannon Peterson! And thanks for your comment. Have a nice day! /Janus
If I can learn this it would make me feel a lot more comfortable to try steeper slopes. I am going skiing ⛷ tomorrow for Christmas. 2nd time skiing ever. 😬
Thanks for your comment, David Martin! It definitely helps with getting more control on steeper slopes. Make sure you practice the Hockey Stop on very flat terrain and don't push your development too hard. If you want a much more detailed step-by-step How to ski guide about stopping and turning with parallel skis, you should check out our course Learn to Turn - With parallel skis: www.inspirationalskiing.com/stepbystep-guides I hope this helps and that you will enjoy improving your skiing skills. /Janus
I could do hockey stops like a pro as a kid in the 90s on cheap rental skis but sadly I havent been skiiing in 25 years. I really miss the black diamond runs. Sometimes I wonder if I could still ski that well being 39 years old now. Ive heard the new style of skis are very easy to ski unlike the straight skis I grew up with.
Thanks for sharing your thought, BIGBLOCK455! I think you will be surprised how much your body remembers. I have seen several times people who haven't skied for many years coming back to their old level of skiing within a relatively short period. It is true that the new style of skis (carving skis/shaped ski) makes it easier to turn than on the straight skis. There are no reasons why you couldn't be as good a skier at 39 as when you were a kid. Being physically well prepared for skiing is definitely important. Check out our playlist with Dryland training czcams.com/video/MX_UnobYGcw/video.html. I am sure you will also find this video helpful when finding the right ski movements and getting back to your old top level skiing: czcams.com/video/1b-UEeOTZ4c/video.html. I hope this helps! /Janus
great 👍
Thanks kevin .b. Awesome that you enjoyed the video. Have a nice day! Janus
Wow short video but I learned a lot!
Glad to hear that, Alpha Playxz! We sometimes like to keep it short and sweet. /Janus
Love this. Due to my hip structure the pizza/wedge technique is quite uncomfy to me. However, I can hockey stop with ease, and I use that to control my speed instead :)
Awesome @MarkThe_Nerd. The hockey stop is more comfortable and effective than the wedge in most situations for most people as soon as they are comfortable enough to leave the beginner slope. It's just perfect that you are controlling your speed with parallel skis. Have a nice day! /Janus
Very good, very practical. Solid progression/transition to nice short turns!! Thanks for posting!
You are very welcome, and thanks for the nice comment. Comments like yours, really encourages us to do more videos for you guys. Have a nice day! /Janus
You don't make Technically Correct short turns by thrusting the tails of your skis to the sides. Does a car turn by using the rear wheels? You balance on the outside ski, drive your knees into the tongue of your boot which takes your weight off the tails and then rotate your knees into the turn and the tips of your skis will be loaded, the tips will bend, and they will make an instant turn as the tails slide around.
You make it look easy
Thanks for your comment, 1Percent milk! I am sure you can too with some practice, and I hope this video will help you in the proces. /Janus
I’ve been having trouble with this because the ski wants to turn instead of stop. The edge is catching basically i think. Thank u for this!!! I can’t wait to try
Hi Evan! Thanks for your comment, and for letting me know what you are struggling with. I will give you a few thoughts based on your comment. If your edge is catching and the ski wants to turn, it sounds like you are still having too much weight on them for this move, which will make them react with the snow. Then moving up and creating that moment where you feel light before you twist, will help. It might also be, that you haven't twisted them enough before you come down and the skis are loaded again. Then it will help to twist the skis more when you are up and feel light, so they become perpendicular to the direction of travel, before the skis are loaded again. Then be ready to balance against the sudden pressure under the downhill foot as you stop. A third possibility is that you have edged the skis too much for where you are in move, which will make them grip too soon. Then you can work on having a bit flatter skis as you twist. With flat skis you can also skid into sliding sideways and then build the edge until you reach a full stop. There are many factors going into any situation (as well as the right solution for that situation), and I am guessing a bit here from what I can read. I hope this helps, and feel free to let me know how it goes, when you have tried the tips. Have a nice day! /Janus
Great tutorial. I am 12 and just got into skiing! we are going tomorrow and I'm gonna try this out.
Hi JS_Productions! I was 11 when I really got into alpine skiing (I did cross country before that). Have fun with your skiing, and I hope The Hockey Stop works for you. /Janus
@@InspirationalSkiing Thanks! It was fun, I just have to work on it a bit more.
Keep going for it and you will get it for sure 😊👍
@@InspirationalSkiing uh oh never heard from him again 😬
thanks for sharing this....im a beginner...when you say twist, should i put more weight on one leg? or try to twist both legs?
I like it
I am happy you do, @yourunclexu 🙂 /Janus
Ty. I go to tomorrow
Great, ron lucas! I hope it went well! /Janus
@@InspirationalSkiing it was fun
Hello,
I wanted to use your video as an example for French ski instructors to comment about the hockey stop in English and we all agreed that you are not suppose to make a down motion before making a hockey stop. Otherwise it takes too much time to make it if you want to stop quickly.
The up motion will make your skis lighter to be able to pivot your skis and do this mouvement.
.. You should read the French skiing bible it could help !
The down motion gave me a lot of confidence to feel comfortable with the technique. I think it's important for learners, then as they progress they can think about removing the down motion
Thanks for sharing your conversation with the French ski instructors @user-tr3xw9ne1g. In reality there are many ways to do a Hockey Stop and people - especially ski instructor organisations - get caught up in "the correct way" to do things, sometimes missing out on fun and helpful movements as well as result opportunities. As to what you point out, I am not sure I understand it completely. They believe the up-movement to be ok to unweight the skis, but the down movement is not ok? But, as I see it you will have to move down before you are able to move up. Thats the "Prepare" phase in this video. The up-movement is simply to make it easier for people to twist the skis since they will be unweighted in a brief moment. When you are up and twist the skis the next thing that happens is that the twisted ski will meet resistance in the snow creating a force the skier should handle. This is all part of stopping, so its good. But in order to meet this force, the skier will be more stable and find it easier to handle if they allow for some bending of the joints at "impact" i.e. moving "down" a bit again. If you are an experienced skier you might be able to do a Hockey Stop with no up and down movement which will be quicker, I do agree on this. But, this video is aimed at learners of the Hockey Stop, who often times have difficulties twisting their skis, and in this case the up and down movements can be helpful. I do read other organisations "bibles", and as a side note, I actually went and visited ENSA and the guys writing "The french bible" a couple of years back, and they recommended their fair share of controversial movements - like upper body rotation to start the turn - that other widely recognised ski instructor organisations like the Austrians, Canadians and other don't agree with. I find all the different movement options on skis fascinating and the discussion on the "correct way" can be really fruitful and offer new insights and make us all more knowledgable. But sometimes it becomes dogma - which is understandable because it is part of a curriculum and a ski instructor exam that you need to pass - but the risk is that it stifles the willlingness to see beyond the bibles perspective. All that said, there are movements that works better than other movements and there are definitely some movements that will be a bad idea in almost all situations. My position is that skiing is situational which means that different situations call for different movements. Recreational skiing also need to take different stages of learning into consideration which may promote a less effective way of skiing at a certain stage of learning (The Snow Plough being the best example of this). And sometimes doing ineffective movements might be the right thing to do just because they are fun. Finally all movement choices relate to a specific goal which may vary. The purpose of this video is not to present the single correct way of doing the Hockey Stop, it is about prodiving a way to learn to stop with parallel skis for beginners/intermediates who are currently able to stop with the snow plough. From there they can refine and vary depending on the situation and their goal. I hope this helps. /Janus
Next winter I am going to do this
Thanks for your comment, RCMods! I hope it will work out well for you. Have a nice day! /Janus
I'm very intimidated by this, but I will be working on it this season, as I want to ski the difficult slopes with verve.
You can do it, FlemingCockatiel! Just build your skills with patience and don't rush your progress. Focus on one or a few things you want to improve at the time, and then move on as you are ready. I am sure you will reach your goal if you put in the necessary time and effort (which means more skiing, so that is a pretty nice thing...). /Janus
@@InspirationalSkiing Thank you for the encouragement. I know someone on ski patrol, so I have been able to ski more often than before. He was also able to critique what I was doing with my turns, and he said I was very close to doing the stop. I've learned how to do some side-slipping, which I think is a helpful lead-in to this. My performance on steeper slopes has improved in just a few weeks. I am looking forward to practicing more and wish skiing season was longer. Now to get my sisters out with me!
I love the pose of triumph at 0:30.
Hockey Stops won't help you; they will only make you fall more. You balance on the outside ski, drive your knees into the tongue of your boot which takes your weight off the tails and then rotate your knees into the turn and the tips of your skis will be loaded, the tips will bend, and they will make an instant turn as the tails slide around. The opposite of a Hockey Stop.
When I was a teenager, we were going skiing the first time in a group. And the instructor taught me how to stop with the pizza. And then we all went up the hill, very nice and fun, and I go down the hill for the very irst time and try to do s curves downhill, but I gathered a lot of speed at some point and I didn't feel comfortable so I tried to slow down, but that didn't work, I remember almost breaking my ankle and falling when donig the pizza, one ski slipped over the other. I kept balance on one leg and just went downhill, not knowing how to stop. There were plenty of people there, tat I tried to not hit, and I saw the red mash fence to stop, but a group of kids were playing infront of it so I instead tried to hold onto the wooden fence next to the hut, I broke it off, and although it stoppen me, I threw the entire fence over, resulting in the destruction of said fence, and a glass window because a pair of skiis were leaning on it due to my pulling were launched into the window, shattering it.
I was banned for life and never went skiing again. But I want to try again one day, hence why I watch your video. Our instructor never showed us this or similar, in fact, I never even got those skii sticks either.
Looooool
What a story, obiwanfisher537! That sounds like a really bad start to your skiing journey. I am happy you feel like giving it another shot and I am sure ressources like my videos will give you a better understanding of how to get a good start. Once you start feeling the control skiing has the potential to provide so much fun and joy. Feel free to let me know how it goes, if you decide to give it another go. Have a nice day! /Janus
Brill 👍🏻
Thanks for your comment, Bob Coggin! I am happy you like the video. Have a nice day! /Janus
Will try this tomorrow. Will let you kniw how it goes!
Awesome, I will be looking out for your comment. Good luck and have fun with it. /Janus
Yeah, worked great. I feel like this was the final step in me going from novice to mid-level skier. Taught my daughter, "PUTS" as well. I think I'll send her your video to help her understand better. Thanks, Janus!
Thank for sharing how it went, @@benjaminhaase7223. Amazing that it worked for you and that you are sharing it with your daughter. Have a nice day! /Janus
@@InspirationalSkiing I think of you every time I make a turn down a black diamond run now. All my friends got private lessons. All I had to do was get Janus.
i’m just learning this so i can spray my friends hehe
Thanks for your comment, @Crxssbow89. I know this seem like a fun idea and all that might happen is them being sprayed. I have however seen people wanting to do exactly that, and then the snow was more slippery than they thought. This resulted in them hitting their friends with their skis causing severe injury. Remember, you have knifes under your skis and hitting people with all your weight and speed at knee height might turn real ugly. What seemed like a fun prank turned into a trip to the hospital. I have seen that more than once, so I strongly encourage people to always stop underneath other people. Always. I am just saying this to prevent people getting injured. I do think it is a very good idea to learn the hockey stop regardless, and I hope you find this video helpful and succeed with learning the Hockey stop quickly. All the best! /Janus
@@InspirationalSkiing oh alright
Outstanding instruction. Showing my kids asap. I’ve been trying to tell them that the parallel is just a series of hockey stops.
I feel like I'm Black Diamond Ready now haha
Awesome 😃😋
I’ll have to try this cause the “snowplow” doesn’t seem to work very well for me.
Thanks for your comment, Grant. I hope The Hockey Stop works for you. In this video I go straight to the final move and give some tips to it. If you want a step by step progression to how you can learn to stop with parallel skis, you should check out our how to ski guide, Learn to Turn With Parallel Skis, over on inspirationalskiing.com. If you haven't seen our video about stopping with The Snow Plough (Your first time on a ski slope), you might want to check that out as well. I hope this helps. /Janus
i think the ultimate idea of hockey stop is initiate stopping instantly from skiing forward without any side turn before, i can see many skiers they can do hockey stop but they precede it with left or right turn its much easier but it takes much longer , but i couldn't see anyone who can stop instantly from forward position, i can do this similar to you also i know another technique with jumping in to the hockey stop its even faster but harder to maintain balance. Its easier to do on fresh snow where isn't any edge catching
Thanks for your comment, Pitur! The options are endless and there is always another challenge and way to improve you skiing. Have a nice day! /Janus
You can ski Technically Correct and still stop on a dime without doing a Hockey Stop. You just have to know how to ski correctly and then exaggerate the movements. At the end of my video, you will see it performed correctly without a Hockey Stop!
You should do a video on how to maximise spray on a hockey stop to shower your mate in snow when they stack.
Thanks for you comment @GuagoFruit. I know this seem like a fun idea, but I have seen too many accidents with people trying to spray their friends and the loosing control and ending up hitting their friends knee height with the skis first. A fun idea then quickly turns into a very bad day for everybody. What happens is that when the friends stopped, they pushed away some surface snow exposing the harder snow underneath. When the spraying friend try to spray they get surprised that the snow is harder than expected above their friends and they loose control. I therefore always strongly recommend skiers to stop below other people. I hope this helps. /Janus
@@InspirationalSkiing yes it does. I fell victim to a failed stop by my friend this weekend and now my thumb is now in a splint. Nothing serious, just a "god damn it" sort of thing
That doesn't sound good@@GuagoFruit. I wish you a speedy recovery. Thanks for sharing this. I think it makes it even easier for people to understand the seriousness of the message to read your story. This is so easily avoided, so let's hope these comments help someone to avoid similar accidents. /Janus
So it's basically like doing a very sharp 90 degree turn so that the centripetal force balances out gravity force and stops you, right?
Yes, exactly! If you want to make a very quick stop like this, the centripetal force should be felt mostly under your downhill foot. Have a nice day! /Janus
No, not exactly. The way he described it, you are Making your skis go sideways to arrest you Momentum that is traveling down the hill. Gravity is still there. Read my comment to understand what this Really is.
@@JB91710 I think you have a point here, JB91710. Gravity is still there. It is only the momentum down the hill (gravity being the force causing this momentum), that has been stopped, not gravity itself. /Janus
Would love to know what's going on with the positioning of the feet and knees etc and pressure etc...great vid nonetheless
Thanks for you comment and request, obscurity0804!
This can be explained in a number of ways. Here is one for you:
You have to position your feet so that you can withstand the sudden rise in pressure when all the weight you have moved up are coming down again on the skis that have been twisted while being light.
The more you edge your skis by rolling your ankles and move your knees and hip towards the snow on the hillside, the more the skis will grip and the more you will feel the presssure. To withstand and come to a rapid stop most of the pressure should be received on the downhill foot.
For this to work well you must be effectively aligned in your body (especially ankles, knees and hips). On simple cue for this is to feel strong and able to withstand the pressure. This focus might help your body to position the limbs to achieve this result.
For a visual of a good position for gripping the snow and come to a stop - as well as some exercises to practice this skill - have a look at our video about The Double Turn.
I hope this helps. /Janus
@@InspirationalSkiing super helpful I’ll check that vid out
This is the Technically Correct way to do this turn without a Hockey Stop which is actually counterproductive to correct skiing. You balance on the outside ski, drive your knees into the tongue of your boot which takes your weight off the tails and then rotate your knees into the turn and the tips of your skis will be loaded, the tips will bend, and they will make an instant turn as the tails slide around. Watch me demonstrate it at the end of my video.
A Hockey Stop is a desperate attempt to arrest your speed because you were not taught how to ski and slow down correctly. You steer your turns with the tips of the skis as the tails just slide around behind you, you don't weight and push the tails around because all that will do is make your skis change direction, they won't bend and turn.
Just wild that it has the name from icehockey :D
Hi! But what about hi speed and I want to hokey stop? How to do it most safety? After all, at low speed it is more or less controlled. But when you rush off the mountain at high speed, it's a little different, I think.
Hi Derzkoe Radio! Yes, you are right. At higher speeds you need to be careful. Going from high speed into a hockey stop can be risky and require that you have build your skills. Slowing down from high speed can more safely be done by making some speed controlling turns until you have reached a safe speed to do a hockey stop. I hope this helps. /Janus
Like Janus said, from high speed you have to slow down gradually but you don't need the Hockey Stop at the end. You just load the tips of your skis more and more so they can dig in and bend more and the tails will just slide around. You also have to do what I call Anticipation Moves. Imagine your skis are making a right turn, you throw your upper body back into the fall line in the opposite direction which changes your leg angle quickly so the skis can make the turns quicker.
As your skis go to the right with your weigh balanced on your left foot, your pelvis goes left as you change your weight and balance to your right foot. The quick leg angle change will get the skis onto the opposite edge very quickly and your weight will be down the hill and over the tips as the skis turn under you. You need that hip placement back into the fall line because it is IMMPOSSIBLE to roll your ankles over or move them laterally at all when they are clamped into ski boots.
The rolling of your feet is caused by your leg movement which can only be accomplished by a lateral hip movement.
As someone, who grew up with skiing, just somehow doing all the stuff, it's really weird to think of people who have to learn it first
Thanks for your comment, Mark Lehmann! Yeah, I totally get where you are coming from. If you are so fortunate to grow up with skiing, much of the basics will be second nature early on. I coached a bunch of Norwegian kids a couple of seasons, and they were so good and natural movers on their skis. It was awesome to see how good skiers some of them grew up to become. I grew up in Denmark with no mountains and almost no snow - so I have travelled a lot in stead. And I had to learn a lot a little bit later in my life. In my mind, the learning journey on skis can continue for as long as you want it too. There is always another cool thing to learn, even for the best in the world. And that is part of the beauty of skiing, in my opinion. I hope you enjoy the video anyways, even though this is basic stuff for people who are fortunate enough to grow up with skiing. Have a nice day! /Janus
@@InspirationalSkiing oh, happy to see your reply! Yes, there is always a lot to learn. For example when I see worldcup athletes skiing down the Streif in Kitzbühel it's a level of both skill and madness that I will never reach, and, to be fair, my comfort zone totally ends at around 120 km/h downhill, and that's the speed I dare to reach on a perfect slope with no ice or unevenness.
I once tried to teach skiing to a friend but I ended up giving it up, because I simply couldn't find a way to explain how to do the stuff that I just do without thinking about it. So you're doing an excellent job with your videos explaining!
I didn't try skiing until my mid-teens and even then it has been only spotty. Someone on ski patrol pointed out a flaw in my turns that I am now working on resolving. I'm still intimidated by this stop but intend to practice it, and it probably will come fairly easily once my turns improve. I don't know if I'd be any better than you at teaching the basics, though.
What am I doing wrong with my turns and hockey stops? When I do a hard turn, something I have learned from you, I often get turned 180 degrees around and end up skiing backwards until I can regain control. The same is true for my hockey stop, though I am seldom able to execute the stop to that extent. I'm still nervous with the hockey stop, but am excited about its potential and I won't give up. But, all-in-all, why do my turns and some of my stops turn me so far around (more like 180 degrees rather than 90 degrees - LOL). Thanks, Mike
Thanks for your question, Mike Roberson! Keep at it, I am sure you will reach your goals if you keep at it! I can't tell for sure without seeing video, but here are a few common issues that might cause the trouble of spinning too far, when doing a hard turn or a stop. 1. If you start the turn by swinging your arms, you might create too much spinning/turning momentum. Instead try keeping your upper body and arms more quiet and turn with your legs. Try doing this by pointing your feet patiently in the direction you want to turn gradually through the turn. 2. You might be too far forward on your skis at the end of the turn. Seek towards more heel/sweetspot pressure at the last half of the turn (from when the skis are pointing straight down the hill until you change the edges and start the new turn). Have a look at our video How to maintain balance on skis for an exercise to help you locate this balance (sweet)spot under your foot. I hope this helps! /Janus
@@InspirationalSkiing Thanks Kindly!!!
Hockey Stops should not be taught until a person is skiing Technically Correct. Unfortunately, you will be hard pressed to find someone to teach you correctly. When you are taught correctly, you will never need to do a Hockey Stop. They are taught as a panic measure to make up for not knowing how to ski.
Now to your problem. The vast majority of skiers have the same exact problem as you. It is caused by thinking of turning instead of concentrating on doing what your skis need from you to allow Them to make the turns for you. Again, nobody teaches that, so you have to fall, back on what comes naturally and that is twisting and steering your upper body into the turn. That makes you put most of your weight on your inside ski which digs into the snow too much and it turns up the hill and your body spins out.
You balance on the outside ski, drive your knees into the tongue of your boot which takes your weight off the tails and then rotate your knees into the turn and the tips of your skis will be loaded, the tips will bend, and they will make an instant turn as the tails slide around. Your weight was to be on the tip of your outside or turning ski, not pressing on the tails. Think of screwing the tips of the skis into the snow like a corkscrew while the unweighted tails slide around.
im just starting to ski and i cant tilt my legs inward enough to do the pizza stop would this be a better one?
Thats fantastic that you have just started skiing, Miles! When you do the pizza, try to bend your knees, so the shins touch the front of your boot. That might help you tilt your legs inwards. You can also do a much wider Snow Plough, that will automatically tilt your skis more on edge. Generally I recommend learning The Snow Plough first, because with it you can control your speed and direction at very slow speeds, which is nice in the beginning. As soon you start to feel confident with the Snow Plough, you should start moving towards more parallel skis. That will open up more of the mountain with greater control. Our How to ski guides in the Learn to Turn series might be something for you to consider to get some tips and a step-by-step progression to accelerate your learning. Here is a link to the guides for you to check out: www.inspirationalskiing.com/stepbystep-guides. I hope you will enjoy many hours on skis. /Janus
When I try to do this I 4/5 times turn around 180, any help or tips why that happens and how to avoid? I've only done 1 and a half day of skiing and can do parallel skiing pretty much, but I am afraid when coming to steeper parts as I can't stop fully with snow plough
Good job with skiing fairly parallel, jrstudio. The hockey stop is a good next step for you in order to handle steeper parts. When you twist your skis then try to “land” with heel pressure, the sensation of having the whole ski engaged and keep looking down the slope. I hope this helps and feel free to let me know how it goes. /Janus
@@InspirationalSkiing thx, will try it today
I already play hockey, I have for over a decade, went skiing for my first time today, without any tutorial or instructor i was already on a blue run going down perfectly with mini hockey stops and normal ones at the bottem within 30 minutes, you could try to learn how to skate a bit before skiing, and learn the hockey stop playing hockey, and then its natural on the skii runs. you wont even have to use triangle.
Thanks for sharing your story and tip, Pack Black. Thats amazing! I totally agree that skating will give you an advantage and some skills that transfers to skiing. In both sports you are basically balancing on steel edges on a slippery surface. At some point diving more into ski specific technique will be beneficial in order to progress and improve your skiing further, I believe. I hope you are enjoying your time on skis and will keep improving your skiing. Have a nice day! /Janus
If i can do hockey stop in ice skating , is it the same in skiing?
Hi @alexalex-xz9pk. I think there is a good chance you will learn it quickly. Being able to hockey stop on ice skates is definitely an advantage. Feel free to let me know how it goes if you try on skis. /Janus
Do I have to know how to paraelle first. To be able to do this stop?
Thanks for your question, @Anya_so_sweet. It will for sure make it easier to succeed if you have practiced some parallel skiing or exercises towards parallel skiing first, but sometimes I actually use The Hockey Stop as a way to learn the parallel ski position. It all depends on the individual skier what is the ideal path forward and makes the most sense. I hope this helps. /Janus
@@InspirationalSkiing I tried this yesterday as I am still doing wedge. It works but my feet won’t be together at the end. They are wide apart but at least it somewhat stop. I will keet trying.
Thank you
Am I supposed to be using my heel to dig in? I am brainwashed about getting into the front of my boots and using my toes to push into turns. When I turn parallel and begin the stop, do I use my heel?
Hi Matthew Dumas, and thanks for your question. Yes, when the pressure builds up, which is does rather quickly with this manoeuvre, you should feel the pressure throughout the whole foot, and especially around the heel/middle of the foot area. This is where you are strong and most effectively can balance against the pressure. Having heel pressure don't mean leaning back, though. Aim to be in the middle. Front pressure is for the beginning of a regular parallel turn. Through the turn, when the pressure builds up, the pressure should be moving more to the middle and heel for you to stay strong and maintain grip. I hope this helps. /Janus
@@InspirationalSkiing Good answer.
Is pizza stop good for Bunny Hill, while Hockey stop is good for steeper slope?
Thanks for your question, SkyHermit! Yes, that is a good rule of thumb. Pizza stop won't work well on steeper slopes. But The Hockey Stop will. But, practice and learn The Hockey Stop on Flat terrain, where you feel confident, first. Have a nice day! /Janus
@@InspirationalSkiing The other day I fell down when I tried Hockey Stop because the back of my skis hit each other as my legs (skis) were not parallel enough I guess. The second time I was able to stop completely, but I wasn't facing to the side but instead facing the upward slope (180 degree turn, instead of 90 degree). Anything that I did wrongly?
@@SkyHermit Good to hear you had some progress on your second try. Remember it is a process, that will require you to try and adjust until you get it. About you overrotating so you make a 180 degree turn, this is not uncommon when you first learn. I suggest you read my response to George G under this video. He experienced the same problem, so I gave him a detailed response with possible causes, suggestions too try and some tips to practice that might be helpful to you as well. Keep trying and adjusting, and you will get it. I hope this helps. /Janus
first time I tried skiing almost ran into someone at full speed did this barely missed them, was crazy
Sounds scary, voiddrifter1376. You are not the only one who has experienced something like this. Often times it is because they start out on a slope that is too steep and they just go without having any idea about how to stop. I hope to help some of these people before they get on skis so they have a better chance of a good and safe start. I hope you doing well with your skiing now. Have a nice day! / Janus
What of regular stops?
Thanks for your comment, David N. There are many great ways to stop on skis, and when we edited this video, we realised that it would be a good topic for a future video. Until then, here are a few tips that I hope, you will find helpful. 1. Simply make a slower, less explosive and more spread out version of The Hockey Stop, as presented in this video. This will give you a more smooth stop with parallel skis. 2. When you make a turn (snow plough or parallel) just continue turning until you go across the hill or even a bit uphill. That will make you stop eventually. Also check out our video Your first time on a ski slope (HOW TO STOP ON SKIS FOR BEGINNERS). We have more options as well as detailed step-by-step professions about stopping and learning The Hockey Stop in our how to ski guide "Learn to Turn with the Snow Plough". This guide will very soon be available on inspirationalskiing.com and you can subscribe to the newsletter to get notified and bonuses as we release new stuff. I hope you find these tips helpful. Have a nice day! /Janus
is it hard moving from using the plough to the parallel?
Thanks for your question, Hamad Hamad. There are a lot of factors going into the process of going from snow plough to parallel, like general fitness level and balance skills, terrain, snow conditions etc. For most people it is definitely realistic to achieve parallel skiing during a week on skis, especially with good guidance from a ski instructor. On this channel you can also find some tips that can be helpful in the proces. Have a look at our video Two Keys to parallel Skiing for a start. Good luck with parallel skiing and enjoy the process and small successes along the way. I hope this helps. /Janus
Snowplow and Stem Turns are the worst thing an instructor can teach a student since the creation of Shaped Skis. Balancing on one ski is the focus, not standing on both. At the bottom of the hill, climb up one side and traverse the slope balanced on the arch of your downhill foot. Always remember, speed is your friend because a ski can't turn and slow you down without it!
To slow down and stop, press your downhill knee into the boot and rotate your knee slightly into the slope and the ski will turn into the hill and slow you down to a stop. All the while balanced on that downhill foot. Practice this in both directions until you are confident.
With that you have learned to balance on a moving ski, and you have learned what the ski needs from you to turn. When your confidence is increased, climb a little higher and traverse steeper down the slope, face down the hill and get off your downhill foot and balance on your uphill foot and that ski will instantly make a new turn for you and then you press your knee forward and the ski will turn into the hill to slow you down and stop you.
No Snowplow or Stem Turn required and no need for Hockey Stops.
When i do this, i won’t actually stop fully I’ll just fall and crash or i will go right and i Can’t stop unless i angel my skis upwards till i stop.
@@notyouraveragecupoftea8303 Practice this. Traverse across the slope with you weight and balance on your downhill ski. Lift the tail of your uphill ski occasionally to make sure you are balanced. When you want that ski to turn into the hill to stop you, press your shim against the tongue of your boot. That will put more weight on the tip of the ski so the edge dogs in and will lighten the tail so it can slide down the hill. Be sure to stay balanced on it
Why do we have to prepare in the beginning (ex. like bending the knees)?
Thanks for the comment, Tamiz! Bending your knees allow for you to extend them again and release the pressure from your skis, so you can easily twist them and prepare for the stop. I hope this clarifies. Otherwise, feel free to ask again. /Janus
@@InspirationalSkiing Oh thank you for clarifying! That makes sense as it's like a small pop that allows you to take off the pressure and add them again. Thank you.
@@drtamiz Exactly! The preparation part is also a good time to find your balance in the middle of the ski in a good ready position.
why do I keep sliding backwards and down the hill though? is it balance?
Thanks for your question, George G. This is not uncommon when you first learn The Hockey Stop. There can be several reasons for it. Here are the two I find most likely and some suggestions for you to try. POSSIBLE REASONS: 1. You are rotating your whole body as you try to get the skis perpendicular to the direction of travel building a momentum, that continues to spin you around. 2. You are twisting your skis too much. This will result in you going beyond the 90 degree twist you want, and as a result you will end up sliding backwards. 3. You are putting too much pressure on the front of your skis, which will make them continue rotating as the pressure builds up. SUGGESTIONS TO TRY: 1. Aim to make the twist with you feet and legs, while you upper body (pelvis, torso and head) are pointing more towards the valley. 2. Try making a smaller and maybe slower twisting movement. 3. Practice "landing" in a good middle position where you feel most of the pressure in the middle of the foot/around the heel (don't be leaning back, though. Stay in the middle of the ski). WHEN YOU PRACTICE THESE THINGS: 1. Do it at slow speed. 2. Find a slope that has a flat outrun and do The Hockey Stop on the flat part. If you rotate too much, you won't go that far backwards because the terrain is flat. 3. Hang in there and enjoy the process. If things are hard to achieve, the victory is that much greater when it happens. I hope this helps! /Janus
@@InspirationalSkiing Thank you so much for the reply. Going skiing this weekend, I'll keep your advice in mind. Cheers!
You have to be almost totally balanced on the outside or downhill ski. If you lean into the turn to much you will weigh the inside ski too much, it will dig in and turn into the hill and you will spin around backwards.
I have no idea if you will see this but when u try to hockey stop i turn and do a 180. How do i fix this?
Dig your outside ski into the snow harder. Make it stop dead in its tracks
As louiscruz624 points out, focus on digging in your outside ski in the snow helps. As you do that aim to have the pressure go through the heel of your outside ski. I hope this helps. /Janus
Why when I want to do it I feel like my skis are stuck in the ground and cant turn quick
Thank you for you question, @yagami6372. There can be several reasons for this. Most likely you are stuck on your uphill or inside ski. If this is the case you can benefit from practicing more weight on your outside ski by tapping - and maybe even lifting - your inside ski as you turn and see if you can keep your skis more parallel. Do it on very gentle terrain in easy snow conditions. I hope this helps. Feel free to let me know how it goes. /Janus
As a hockey player I learned this before pizza, and my knees thanked me for it
Yeah, you are right, Luke Zaccagni. Pizza can be rough on the knees if you do it a lot, and it is definitely an advantage in so many ways to be able to do The Hockey Stop. /Janus

Read all my comments to other people and you will.
If we do not know how to hockey stop, how are we supposed to hop stop? Also lifting that ski and balance on one ski is hard for beginner. These drills can't help
Thanks for your comment, daddybear236.
I get what you mean and your point does have some merit, as I will explain. I wouldn't agree the drills can't help, though. I have seen them work in action.
The problem many people experience with The Hockey Stop is that the uphill ski gets stuck. Just lifting the tail of the uphill ski a little bit (not necessarily as much as I do to demonstrate) can suddenly make all the difference.
And if you are very athletic and strong just hopping into the stop can be a short cut, that takes the skier several levels up in a very short time. I have seen this happen with athletic teenagers for example.
It is true though, that both of these drills might be too much for some people. Many people will benefit from having some easier drills working towards parallel skiing and stops. I do want to make more videos in the future about how to stop for beginners and I take your comment as a request for some easier drills that can help with this.
For those who really want a detailed step by step progression from stopping and turning with the Snow Plough to turning and stopping with parallel skis we have made a course in the shape of an ebook with additional exclusive videos and many easier parallel skiing and stopping drills.

@@InspirationalSkiing thank you for the details. I feel both methods you presented are of harder level than the hockey stop itself. Skiing on one leg requires more balance and we beginners lack of coordination, dont know how to transfer weight to stay balanced.
i swear im always getting slingshoted into the ground by catching an edge
Hey Doppio! Thanks for the comment. Is it the downhill ski that catches an edge so you tumble over or is it the edge on the uphill ski? /Janus
@@InspirationalSkiing downhill usually
@@jacksonhogan5390 There are some other things you can try that may work better for you.
I suggest you practice side slipping to begin with. Stand still pointing the skis across the slope. Release the edges gently and slide sideways/downhill a bit. Set the edges gently again until you stop. Experiment with a gentle and a more hard and sudden edge set. That will improve your feeling for the edges, how much you can apply and your ability to balance on your downhill ski, when pressures builds up quickly in a stop.
Next you find a gentle slope with even snow. Ski slowly in a traverse across the hill while doing the exact same thing. Release the edges a bit so you start to slide more sideways down the hill, as you go across the hill. Then add a bit of edge again and so forth.
As you get familiar with this, you can add a bit of twisting to the edge movement, so it becomes more of a turn or a stop move if you twist a lo quickly. Build it up gradually.
Once you get familiar with this, you might be ready to try the full hockey stop again.
We are almost ready to release our next how to ski "How to ski with parallel turns", where we have included a much more detailed progression that builds up to the full hockey stop. If you want to get notified when it is ready, go to Inspirationalskiing.com and sigh up to the newsletter.

Hop to stop will probably not work with beginners because their binding din settings will be too low (skis will pop off easily for safety) and they often wont be in good physical shape like yourself!
Thanks for your comment, Matt Bolt. This is an important point you make. If the din setting is too low, there is an increased risk of the skis falling of when you land. It is also true that the Hop to Stop requires good physical shape, which I also emphasise in the video. I think it can be a fun thing to try if the skier is fit and the din setting allows it. The Hop to Stop is definitely not for everybody, but I have had some success with letting very athletic and strong teenagers try this as a way to learn to stop with parallel skis. I also think it can be a fun thing to experiment with for athletic and strong skiers on higher levels. Have a nice day! /Janus
@@InspirationalSkiing its a great way to help them understand how to initiate the turn yes! I’m not a very proficient skier but I also found that using the hockey stop over the crests of moguls to be extremely fun too!
Not to mention that they won't land on the correct ski or on the right part of the ski because they haven't learned how to balance properly. Learn to ski and slow down correctly and you won't need desperate measures to arrest your speed.
