Creating great skiers
A real-life story, a peek into the how-it's-done and into the transformational aspect of changing the technical model and into the effects that a good model can have on your skiing!
Resisting the pressure
Part of the Projected productions - How to Ski series, "Resistance" is an episode on resisting the pressure building up underfoot, so that you can get direction (i.e. have the ski turn).
Leaving it on the table
Guest post - a great presentation on tactics, specifically line selection in GS to maximize speed, the differences between the high line and the direct line.
What Does It Take to Ski Like the Best?
Guest post - How do the skiers we all admire—high level racers, national demo team level instructors, top bump competitors and high level free skiers—get to the level they are at?
The new season is upon us
Looking at the dryland training you need, equipment review and season planning.
I am SO ENJOYING this site! It's clearly written and every subject is thoughtfully and intelligently described. It has clarified many misconceptions and given me a lot of great ideas to incorporate into my skiing.

Love your website. Very helpful.
A performance level (expert) member
The biomechanics of expert skiing are discussed in bite-sized tech talks and on snow sessions where you experiment with and refine them throughout nine levels of skill development, from gliding on green slopes to expert skier, see the contents.
Intro (intermediate) - remove ineffective movements from your skiing and refine your weight transfer and balance on the outside ski, effective use of the inside foot etc
Effective (advanced) - break out of the "intermediate plateau" by improving fore/aft, carving and speed control, upper body etc
Performance (expert) - master the black slopes and expert skiing by refining flexing, coiling and speed control while carving
Racer (refined) - special level, dedicated to racers and coaches, to refine the technique to the max and take full advantage of it in gates
Different workouts: progressions and sessions to target specific areas of skiing.
Your content has significantly improved my skiing.
