I find your use of the bicycle analogy extremely useful when describing good ski technique. Most skiers also have ridden a bicycle so they can relate to it. The concept of shortening the inside leg also relates to riding through a corner with the outside leg extended and the inside leg up. Your weight is on the outside pedal as in a ski turn. Hands I front holding the handlebars, upper body quite with lower body doing the work. You look out in front always at where you want to go to steer your line as in skiing.Cycling requires momentum/ flow which helps you balance as you maneuver. The faster you go the easier balance becomes. Doing a track stand / balancing standing still is very challenging. I think that skiers who make Z turns are lacking the confidence to ride the skis like mountain bike on a downhill flow trail. They want to constantly put on the brakes instead of allowing the sidecut of the ski follow it’s built in turn radius.

Thanks so much this video really helped me out today, first stepped on a pair of skis 2 days ago, had a couple private lessons and now i’m a lvl 4-5. Shortening the inside ski is a great tip and helped me learn to be comfortable turning. Going back up the mountain tmrw and gonna try to learn to carve!

I've been skiing for over 50 years but I think this video is actually going to help me this season. Thanks
