Help with Technique Again

Looks to me like you are getting caught on your uphill ski, especially evident when you nearly hit the deck in front of the camera. That would have made for a good clip ;)

Your pretty good to me, but from so few turns it is hard to say very much. It could be that you angulate a little more one side than the other, or that your angulation is inconsistent. If you feel that is the case, you might find some drills to help. Modern technique, especially GS racing has angulation changing throughout the turn. Starting with little angulation at the beginning of the turn, and increasing angulation through the turn. IMHO there is nothing wrong with a very inclinated style of carving when the conditions are hero snow (it's about having fun after all), but when it gets icy, being able to keep your body nearer/over the skis with solid angulation is key. Getting your weight forward at the start of the turn, will help to tighten up the turns. Just some things to think about, since you asked.

Thanks guys for the replies they are very helpful. I always end up falling over on the flat by weighting my uphill ski looks bl%%dy funny when I do (will try not to get that on video :D)

I will try to work on my angulation a bit more this year. Have got a lot better on the enduro bike so hopefully will be able to pass it across.


Hope everyone has a great and safe season.

That is a problem with an extremely easy fix. Get a lesson ;)
