If I ever try that, imma freaking fall down every time. Today is my first ski race and I AM NOT READY.

perfect video thank you

thanks a lot!! I almost learnt skiing following your tips!! Very clear and simple to put in practice

its good but its intermediate not exspert

teaching adults how to ski must be like teaching a toddler how to shit in a toilet. they just don't get it.

What mt is that

How much weight do you put on each ski, say at 4:40-4:50? Thanks.

This is definitely geared towards mature adults. Many kids and teenagers with their young minds and bodies can take on double black diamonds with little difficulty without getting a scratch on them, but an adult needs to use a lot of strategy and logistics to do so!

Maybe you can help me here. I'm too lazy to read all the comments. I've been skiing 6 years now, 48 years old, and been skiing blues and higher only 3 years. I can handle single black diamonds (Alyeska standards) okay, but under one condition: if they're groomed and snow not falling like crazy. Ungroomed runs are difficult! I own skis that are the same as those ones you rent. Are those bulky fat ones with the curved tips really necessary to make it easier? I have a feeling it would be like carrying two lead weights on my legs.

where is he filming? somewhere in france? cuz this ski resort looks FABULOUS xD

Darren......I started with the first 3 videos on 12/11/15. My first slide was on the same day. I had never been on a ski ever in my life. Tip/Waist/Tail and DIN setting ????
By the end of Dec. I was proficient on Blue's. Over the next 4 months I skied the majority of our resorts 92 runs. Black diamonds,steeps,trees and powder. I also had 4 hour long group lessons as well. However,I have to say your lessons helped me more than anything else. I skied over 30 days with over half being 4-10 hr. days. I really got the "bug"!
This coming season I will concentrate on further refining my technique and reviewing these great videos. I am a success story of how a great series of videos with your instructor talent, got me enjoying this wonderful sport!! 95% self taught to boot.......thank you !!

I was amazed at how quickly these lessons help to build confidence. Even as a novice skier the steep gradients no longer feel scary when you just breathe and keep focused on the basic body positioning and foot rotation. Many thanks for such a well thought-out series!

Just spent the last couple of years learning to get rid of the wedge and the skid and carve cleanly: useful style on open slopes especially if you want to go fast. Harb influenced me a lot here. However, that technique has been a problem on double blacks; too much speed buildup.Your clear explanation of foot rotation during the flat transition which coincides with unweighting the skis - this clicked in my head. I can't wait to put it into practice, and hopefully enjoy double blacks with your well- explained technique.

Great lessons and tips. Thanks a lot!

😢😢😢I can't edge my skis any tips?

I'm in Telluride now and watching your videos are giving me more confidence. I have improved my carving and my parallel this week. I'm quite excited really! I'm still struggling with staying in full control thru "double blues" with steep bits as I gain quite a bit of speed, but working with my breathing and telling myself to be calm and your voice in my head from the videos I've watched so far, I might just master (clearing the throat) my Intermediate Level skiing. :) Thank you Darren and Elate Media for your fantastic support! xx

Your lessons are nice and clear, great audio. Hey, that letterbox technique is a terrific idea. I tried it and works beautifully. Easier to keep to the fall line without getting spooked. Thanks.

Great lesson. I applied these 3 factors and was able to graduate to skiing black diamonds! Thank you Darren!!

Very well explained and useful. Thanks a lot!

Just got to put this into practice now.
