Took the day off and tested my new ECHT v1 ski 🇦🇹
Slope Tricks & Short Turn Variations
Slope Tricks
This week I learned the nose/tail turns and how to combine them with a switch turn.
Giant Slalom
Our giant slalom was not that “giant”, but fun nonetheless. The distance between the gates was around 20m with one change of rhythm (“banana gate”). The banana gate was required to follow the course on the other side of the hill (long traverse) with respect to the maximum gate distance (~20m).
Skiing Switch
Today I learned how to ski switch with parallel turns. I learned it from “the pro”.

It's a lot of fun. Just be careful not to crash into something or with someone 🤕

I'm not a racer, obviously 😅 I really enjoyed the first fresh snow from last night after a long time without any snowfall 🌨
Skiing Technique
That's me beginning of 2023: 🎬 http://e.pc.cd/tTtotalK
We made some footage of my colleagues as well which was very helpful to compare our different styles (and mistakes 🤪).
This is what it should look like: 🎬 https://www.snowsports.ch/startseite/ausbildung/ausbildungskurse/aspirant
I made some notes below, so I can work on these issues. Really looking forward to the training camp 💪 next week to improve these points.
Can you find out which video features which technique?
