14 Components of Expert Skiing

Hi
This week’s video will be a follow-up on my last year’s very popular 14 Essential Drills For Ski Racers. In that video I picked some of the most important drills that we use when coaching ski racers. In this video the perspective will be somewhat different as we are going to take a look at some of the most important components needed in order to become an expert skier. Note that you don’t have to be an expert skier to make use of these components and skills and not all expert skiers have them nailed. As with the drills, anyone can benefit from studying these concepts and techniques. I do, you should too.

As usual we have young ski racer Chris pulling off the demos and this video is worth watching just for the sake of his stunning carving skills. On this particular day we heard the conditions would be great in the morning and the weather was just what we had been waiting for all winter. Sunny blue skies and a flat groomed empty slope. Unfortunately Chris did not get out of school until quite late so when we arrived the conditions were already softening up. However, the shoot turned out to be successful and we got some stunningly good material.

Hope you enjoy. Please subscribe for more skiing videos and keep on leaving comments and asking questions. I will try to answer as many I can. Due to the many requests I have a "short turn" video coming up shortly as it is in its final stage of editing.
