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/de/extranet/pruefungsvideos-ski.html
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?

Parallel Turn
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_turn
- Put more weight on the outer ski (exercise: lift inside leg)
- Bend the hips, push the outer stick into the snow
- Tilt and bend, arms form a horizontal line with the slope (view from below)
- Use the sticks during release
- Show release and 2 swing phases
Turning Steps
https://www.swiss-ski-school.ch/children/red-league-ski
- Release forward, slightly sideways
- Lean forward all the time
- Move arm upwards along with inside ski
- Bend the hips for increased stability
Skating Steps
- Try to slide longer
Short turns
- “Stop/brake-turns” in a row, more pep, aggressive
- Stable upper body, concentrate on point in the valley, fixed corridor
- Stick: keep arms steady, too nervous
- 💡 Tip: Put thumb on stick to open shoulder and chest
Snowplough Turns
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snowplough_turn
- 💡 Tip: Open the shoes
- Keep ski-tip distance always fist width
- Keep plough angle constant (O-Legs)
- Lean forward, bring hip forward
- Pedalo movement, show (very subtle) release and phases of the swing
- No diagonal traversal, make turn after turn
- Inner ski must slide
