How to balance on the outside ski - Ski Instructional

WTF is edgelock?

Should I have the straight edge of my skis facing my crotch or away from me

Excellent

Isn't it interesting how there is a "counterbalance" action over the outside ski, to (a) stay on the outer edge - the lower body (b) take pressure/weight off the inside ski - upper body. This is a complex and muscular move which can be done instinctively when understood, and shown very nicely on this instruction video.

As a reference, in racing we call it outside to outside but… I was taught poles should NOT drag/touch the snow. Balance on feet only.

Great stuff👍👏

Love this entire video from projected productions.

A question I have is, what is your total ramp angle (delta) in your set up (ski, binding, zeppa, foot bed etc)? And how did you find it?

I've been measing with mine for a few years. I have a flat ski flat binding and even went as far as grinding my zeppa a bit.

Any insight would be great.

Love all the new content on the sight.

Nice video. Great coaching. Thanks Reilly !

Noticeably new and improved level of teaching technique. You managed to translate all the nuances and abstract knowledge a top tier expert is aware of into tangible sensations an intermediate skier would feel every time they are on snow but they don't understand why things happen like they do. Made it very realistic and immersive thank you.

Where are you now? Austria?

Happy New Year, Reilly!
