查看完整版本 : Learn to ski
On YouTube I have found a series of videos for teaching skiing. The contents are summaried as follows.
Chapter 1 provides an overview of skiing.
Chapter 2 and 3 illustrate the importance of good skiing posture.
Chapter 4 and 5 ilustrate the skiing techniques how ski from wedge to parallel turns, and from blue to red terrain.
Chapter 7 is to provide brief explanation of short turns.
Chapter 6 and 8 introudce carving turns.
Chapter 9 briefly discusses the techniques for bumps and powder.
Chapter 10 identifies the common mistakes and suggests how to make improvement on these areas.
Chapter 11 encourages women to enjoy skiing.
Enjoy the following videos :)

Great effort in hyperlinking all the videos onto this forum.
I just found out that the hyperlink is 'automatic' -- that's great Ryann !
eLeung - nevertheless, great to post all these video links.
Great source for learning to ski. I feel that beginners should watch Chapter 4 and 5 first.

Wish all members enjoy these videos!
Yes, Chapter 4 and 5 are suitable for beginners. Also, this is a good idea for giving brief explanation to the videos so that members can be reference easily.
嘩! 好正呀...下次一定要試吓先....short turn.....
這是之前小弟的朋友貼給我看的，翻得還蠻不錯的，但只有翻到「Chapter 6 - The Fundamental of Carving」。
可惜第四節沒有翻譯，所以就看看看囉。

I'm going to bump the tread up.
bump up then lurk
Bump! thx !
Do not understand all your comments. Care to explain?

佢嘅意思係 "推" , 即係"推"高你呢個thread, 等佢唔洗沈落低. 係論壇文化上, 基本上係一個無乜意義同建設性嘅動作, 可以不理.

You are clever. Thanks.
(Perhaps only this one, nothing important on the other 3 threads - no need to 'bump-up' those threads.)

A nice video! On top of his explanation, I also like the active movement of his uphill ski so he creates a prefect angle and position for his high speed turns.
Another youtube series of "Learn to ski" (don't know what language, it is from .hu, Hungary maybe):

We like to think we ski with big egde angles, but the reality is often the opposite.
The uphill leg needs to bend A LOT to allow adequate vertical separation which in turn allows big edge angles. Bending the uphill knee a little is nowhere near enough.

Hi Barry, long time no chat. Wish you all the best in 2009!:)
Sure, vertical separation is a very good indicator of high level skiing. As I know, due to some reasons, it is very difficult for recreational skier to bend uphill leg a lot. Do you have any good suggestions/drills to achieve the flexion?

SPEED helps.

At slow speed, the need of vertical separation is minimal. The terrain is likely to be relatively flat. Put these together, one really could not create much vertical separation.
At higher speed or in steeper terrain, vertical separation becomes more important. In fact, in such situations, inadequate vertical separation will hamper tuning and loses grip on the snow.
I do a simple drill every morning using practically only the outside/downhill ski to turn, using as much edge angle as the terrain/snow/ski/speed would support together with more exaggerated upper body posturing. A basic ski school drill, in fact.

Is it speed to create a situation/momentum that can help flexion easily? Would you explain further on it? :)

I like your life style that you do practice on slope every morning. Based on my observation, many skiers are horizontal separation and the edge angle of inside ski is very flat. So, how you 'train' uphill leg (i.e. old downhill leg) to initiate each turn and maintain same edge angle with the downhill ski?
Tilt the downhill ski to create greater edge angle. Tilting is important. Flat skis don't grip the snow well, and they don't turn well.
The question is "how high should the inside leg be lifted"? My standard is that if the inside leg is used to support the body, it is loaded excessively. When I do my drill it is about 90% on the outside, 10% on the inside leg. When the inside leg is not loaded, there is nothing much to stop you from bringing it closer to the outside leg, which would help to maintain the same edge angle as the downhill ski.
Does this contradict against modern two-legged skiing?

Here is an article to discuss how to make use of the inside ski in modern race turns (http://youcanski.com/en/coaching/inside_ski.htm (http://youcanski.com/en/coaching/inside_ski.htm))
As a reference of body weight distribution between two skis, the author indicates the following parameters for different phases of a turn.
Phase 1 – above the fall line (Outside ski 80%, Inside ski 20%)
Phase 2 – in the fall line (Outside ski 65%-70%, Inside ski 35%-30%)
Phase 3 – after the fall line (Outside ski 50%-60%, Inside ski 50%-40%)
So, I think there is no contradiction.
IMHO, apart from the speed and the terrain, as Mike and Barry have explained respectively, one's angulation will also affect the edge angle and hence the vertical separation. It seems to me that the drill mentioned by Barry is to help a skier to maintain a proper angulation.
Angulation affects edge angle, naturally. The ski boot locks the foot with the shin. The ski is fixed to the boot. They are all fixed together. So angulation determines the edge angle.
If the legs are parallel and close to each other, it is not possible to have no vertical separation when there is an edge angle, without losing balance.
one's angulation will also affect the edge angle
I think both angulation and inclination can affect edge angle. It depends on the situations, techniques, and tactics. :)
True. Both angulation and inclination could affect edge angle. Best to minimise inclination unless skiing at GS speed or higher, which is unlikely for recreational skiing.
If I can ski in slalom style, I would be more than happy. Keeping the body upright is a good idea.
