Homie’s dead serious

If i am not Rolling my Ankles into the New Turn, Then what am i doing? catching air?

Its your waist, Dad

Love your attitude, top content

Are you saying, on flat, body across skis and on steep, skis under body?

Your best presentation😀

great daddy.........greetings from chile

Man…I wish I lived near you. ……..what I would pay for some one-on-one coaching throughout the ski season. 🙂

Sorry but I am not able to see your change in what you are doing different as you move to steeper terrain. Less ankle roll and more what? Please explain! Thanks

"Lead Change" and "Pop!" - that's some ol' school stuff right there!
Respect 😊

No, you are not "rolling your ankles" when skiing like in the video. "Rolling your ankles" means you ACTIVATE that joint. You can do that movement when wearing regular shoes. But your ankles cannot operate laterally any longer when they are blocked inside your ski boot. You think you are rolling your ankles, but actually you are rolling them in the same way as you roll your boots, the nails of your feet, your feet, the paint of your boots, your skis...

what’s the slalom ski length?

Just found this channel - just excellent! Thank you :)

That is very nice skiing and explanation !
btw, I noticed some thing "strange" with your left hand and elbow : the hand going backward and elbow going upward...your right side is ok and you should copy it to be even :)
I had similar problem long time ago. For me, all was about the tonic/relax process and how to not tighten my periphical muscle (here shoulders)...

On the flats, the body can do all the crossover forward move while feet and skis stay fully engaged with snow. On the steeps, the body crossover forward move happens AND the feet and skis displace laterally and redirect (steer) while not pressured. Full edge engagement and pressure begin around the fall line.

What about your hands, you drop a hand on almost the end of every turn.

Nice turns man.

Do you ever notice a difference (or think about the difference) between turns where you drive your inside hand in front of your inside hip…as opposed to when you let it drift and fall behind your inside hip? It’s mainly at the end of your turns.

I tend to purposely use my inside hand as a rudder and drive it into the snow which helps me keep that hand at (or in front of) my hip. I think it helps with keeping me in a stacked position and prevents shoulder rotation…I think.

So what do you think you’re doing when it gets steeper? I for one always roll, no matter how steep. It may not be critical to get you into the next turn when things get steeper and faster because the ski’s energy “throws” you into the next turn as soon as you release. However, your feet and ankles still need to roll to be in the correct position when your edges engage in the next turn. In a high energy slalom turn you may roll your feet and ankles while you’re in the air but roll your must.

You talk about "deviation" at the steeper places but for me it is not visible. Deviation for me means that the skis run into different directions, but your skis do not do this. What I can is than you press down the tip of the new inside ski and this lifts up the tale of it, which is a very good thing to do, especially if you pull back this ski simultaneously, which I think you probably do, only you just do not tell us about it. The goal is to not let the new inside ski get too much of a ski-lead too early int the new turn and also to not let the two skis deviate. Am I wrong?

next video should be about hand position, which you should improve

good vid, dude. solid ski advice. recommendation: turn the music down a little to match the same volume level as your voice would make it a better vid) :) thanks & keep 'em coming

Seems like many of the comments and questions are addressed in your earlier video "Base Skiing part 3"? If the goal is clean completions, then this video seems simple to understand. As pitch and speed increase, and it becomes more challenging to roll the ankles in the same way as you might on flats, then use any of the "exotic moves" you describe in Base Skiing Part 3 video to generate or control speed, as long as the technique used is before the apex of the turn (and the apex of the turn is above and outside the "gate", unless you're carrying speed from a steep onto a flat, in which case apex can be at or below the "gate"). So basically, as pitch and speed increase, use any of the moves in your bag of tricks to control speed so that apex is in the correct spot, allowing you to ride the lower part of the turn into a clean completion? Your explanation in this video seems very understandable and effective to me, in the context of the Base Skiing philosophy you describe in earlier videos. Thanks, the content is great!

As you've noted in previous videos, the best World Cup and Olympic ski racers don't simply continue to roll their ankles through turns on steeps at high speed. They use a variety of moves in transition to generate or control speed (e.g. extension, leg pump, absorption, roll up, jump switch, feather, butter, stivot) with the goal of being strong from apex through clean completion of the turn. If the best in the world "feather" or "butter" at speed on steeps to control speed and set up clean completions, then I agree with your point that it's not a reasonable expectation for recreational skiers to continue to "roll their ankles" as their only technique when speed and pitch increases. So I believe your suggestion is to practice rolling ankles, but also practice jump switch, feather, butter, etc. to be able to adapt to terrain and still have clean completions as it gets steeper.

I've commented before. You could get more out of the inside ski by getting it to same angle as outside ski. In short, get knees apart. On these easy groomers think about initiating or aiming turn with inside knee, away from outside knee.

If "there is no forward movement into the turn" why are the tail of your skis raised from the ground? And why you show a strong forward movement in every turn?

You truly lost me in the what to do on steeper runs. A lot of what to do on greens, but confusing as to technique on steeps. Please slow down, and clarify. Thanks

So…awesome skiing but…who built that stairway?😂😂😂

It looks like youre shuffling more on the steeps. I wonder if you shuffled less, you would be quicker to roll ur ankles on steeper terrain

thanks❤

Nice skiing but try with a wider stance and more patience trough the turns, try to think each turn is done when your tips look up the mountain.

Lift & tilt

Ski dad. Yes. Right but what to do on a steeper pitch?

You don't rotate enough, Dad

You are extending and throwing your upper body into the new turn which creates unbalance. This forces you to place too much weight on the inside ski and scissor it forward in a crunched up stance. From this position you can't develop a tight radius turn after the fall line for speed control.

Only blue runs I can roll in good carvs with that technique but when things get steeper my speed control staying in a carv goes to poop. Don’t mind going fast but in a course I would suffer.

As speed increases, and slope angle steepens, using only knee angulation is no longer enough to resist forces- you have to use separation and add hip angulation.

Question: If there is no accentuated rolling and (as I would interprete) in result no early pressure on the new outside ski, how do you manage to get the pressure later in the turn? Do you built up a "landing-platform" in direction of the apex of the turn? Is it correct to think of trying to move to a "line" instead of concentrating on the transition - as you explained in the video "Keep your feet underneath you"...??? Looking forward to your answer 😉

Man, I love all these instructor types with their unsolicited critiques of your skiing... they might have more precise PSIA arm/wrist technique, but 99% sure as hell dont "SKI" better than you!

Your videos have helped me a lot, especially with directing my limited focus to the end of my turns (to think about finishing the J shape rather than the entire S), and I've found your instruction straightforward to understand and novel in its framing of advice/lessons both old and new.

In this video specifically, I want to ask about the lead change you mention at the end. Is this something you're mentioning as something we should aim for, or just pointing out as an indication of our ski/edge change? I'm curious since I've seen elsewhere that an inside ski tip lead should be minimized.

Thank you

Hi Joe, watching this video maybe 3-4 times and I think I got what you saying. Before I was a little confused about what exactly ankle rolling is. And I think I got it this time. So ankle rolling is then you apply gradual pressure at the top of the turn and when you pick up the speed that early edge change and pressure gets skipped to being light by using more ski pop which gives you the ability to change your edges in the air, so you don't use your energy, you just relax and change edges then you sort of aim your skis to the apex . As you land your legs act like spring and pressure mainly appears from
your mass so the time that you apply pressure becomes way sorter. Funny but as I get tired I start to ski this way more without understanding what's actually happening. Not in the the way that I completely don't have I clue but in the way it right way of skiing or bad. Great stuff, thanks for your videos again!

The older I get (now 68) the more I want to conserve energy by rolling into as many turns as I can. But I agree totally. When it gets steeper or my speed increases, I have to go into more dynamic moves. I can still do it but if I try to do it all day, I definitely won't make it all day. The more toys in your bag of tricks, the more complete a skier you can become. But knowing my limits and applying less strenuous techniques to conserve energy so I can still be strong for as long as I want to is how I like to roll.

Just your title is weird. You can not roll your ankles into the new turn. Your ankle is a hinge joint. You can only get fore aft using your ankles. You are actually rotating your femur in your hip socket.

How do you ever roll your ankle in a ski boot?Stop misleading people.

Speed is controlled by turn shape, if you held you turn longer at the late phase of the turn then you could of rolled the ankle and not picked up too much speed.

Thanks for this

I think you said it in another video, when you were a racer you were faster when you didn't try to make the perfect turn. So it's more effective to ski a tighter line (not losing speed) but with a less than perfect turns as the objective is the fastest run not the prettiest turns.
