How To Carve on Skis | 3 Types of Turns To Ski Any Slope

This doesn't come for free. You need POWER and STRENGHT to be able to carv properly. Before the season you need to properly strengthen your legs and core muscles and gain stamina. Carving is NOT for everyone. Carving is sport, heavy workout. If you are not willing to put effort of prework, dont dream of carving.

What skis are you on. And what length compared to your bodylength? Great videos😀

Really helpful and informative to understand the different turn types and their application. Thank you for exposing that there is more than one way to carve, especially as an intermediate progressing.

Good tips

Props to the cameraman!!!

The cross under looks cooler when you're not on the toilet. Also it feels so much better whenthe skis push back against you floating down the slope.

I've been skiing for two weeks now and your videos gave me the confidence to do my very first blue run a few days ago. Thanks sooo much for allowing me to experience this epic feeling in life on the slopes. Your videos are truly the best!!!

Absolutely love these videos. But I seriously got to wonder, how are some of these shots of you blasting down the mountain being filmed? You're going quite fast, banging out some big carves, and blasting past other folks on the slope, so is the camera man essentially just going straight down the mountain, downhill racer style, no turns, right next to you?

Can I carve like this on my new 2023 bent120s lol. Tryna use them as all mountain ski. Maybe next year I’ll get the 110s

Whats the goggle brand and model? Looks pretty cool! Love the see through.

Can you reccomend a good skis to buy? Now I have Volkl RTM 2019, they are good but dont forgive alot and not too good when slopes have heavy/wet snow, like in the end of the day. Im thinking if I should buy skis like “black crow” that are wider and flost better..?

Все отлично, но я бы на вашем месте попробовал вместо третьего варианта (используемтого в слаломе гиганте) , вариант спецального слалома, с управлением в первой части поворота и резаньем в последующей (тем более, что ваши лыжи очень этому соответствуют). И еще первый и второй варианты можно совмещать.

The cross under technique works great on powder. When the snow pushes back turn.

Way to go on this! Your videos are getting better and better- I really like the new content and send this to all my students. Thanks for making us all better skiers (and for some us, better teachers).

Amazing how you have improved skiing techniqe on groomers👏

You are a very talented athlete. I wish you would talk more about when it is appropriate and not appropriate to do tricks or ski fakey. I see lots of weak skiers trying to pull tricks on very crowded slopes. It's like they don't think about their landing zone at all. Trying to learn to ski backwards on a crowded slope is a recipe for disaster.

Love it. Worked on a number of those with Swiss Ski School Grindelwald on Carv today. I guarantee that you can get that "cross under" score up with a couple of little extra moves that the weightlessness and scooting of the skis across the hill gives you the time for that you are not doing on that assessed run.

The stivot is simply a tool for getting your skis back on a preferred line. What is controlling your speed is the slarve (tails sliding out at end of turn before the transition) you are using to finish those turns.

Cross under looks clearly the most dynamic to me

Я как мегановичек без единой тренировки с тренером в основном катаюсь третьим способом. По правде сказать это скорее дрифт, а не карвинг)

What resort is that?

Really love this video! Could you please explain how to load the tips to get more grip at the turn init? Thanks

This is awesome. I've been using the stivot for years, and I just thought I was being sloppy, having some skid at the top of my turns before getting a bite and carve.

Now I have a name for this thing I do, and can feel like I'm doing proper skiing. And THAT'S how I became a "better" skier in one short video.

Loving the content Jens!

Love the follow cam on the last run, props to the camara man

Epic video as always, are you guys planning on making a video about speed control while carving any time soon?

I do too much of a carve turn in the steep black diamond. Groomed stuff throws you off. It's tough to have the right kind of turns for the condition.

Every time I watch your videos, I think how much I would LOVE to join one of your camps and be instructed by you. One day!! :D Thank you so much for always making awesome videos for us!

Really nice overview and breakdown of different techniques! I'm not sure that it was clear enough in the video that these are quite advanced. Many intermediate skiers will easily get too backseat trying the cross under technique, or skid too much with the stivot.

Awesome, I believe I have the same skies as you used in the video and I LOVE them!
BtwWould you like a discord server? It would be awesome and I can get it ready within soon if you would like so!

Awesome video cheers from London England. I’m off to whistler in March my 3rd time in whistler. Do you have any videos on powder snow I mean like deep pow
