Mountain | reviews | videos | photos
http://www.SkiSchoolApp.com Are you skiing parallel but still having to do a quick step during your turns? Learn to ski the right way. In this ski lesson Darren Turner, presenter of the Ski School series of Apps talks about what he calls the "Two Step", explains that it's a bad habit, not a ski technique, why it happens and how to avoid it in your parallel turns when skiing.

Honestly these videos are really helping. My problem was that on steeps or any other skiing I was fighting my body taking me down hill. Now I've learned that I need to focus on keeping my upper body and legs moving down.

I went with my family on a ski trip last week here in Greece and it was amazing. I want to say so many thanks. You make my life easier up in the ski center! Your advices are awesome and very helpful. I take them all in consideration. A night before i go on skiing, i saw the most of your videos and i was excited. You helped me how to walk, how to carry my equipment, my body position on the mountain and how to stop like a pro! As a family we have gone on skiing a lot of times the previous years, but i had to ski at least 2 years. My father was asking me how you learned all these tricks and you are really good. My mother was in shock when i was going down the hill with style and i didn't fall not even once. THANK YOU !! THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!! Keep going your great work!!! My love and kisses from Greece!!

This is exactly what I do I KNEW I had bad habits wish I saw this months ago !! its kind of hard to re-teach yourself or CORRECTLY know what to do, I had not skied in over 20 years and just started again this season. I'm really bad for lifting my ski on turns one side more than the other and pushing down hard to control the speed sending snow flying the other issue is using my body instead of my legs to turn.
Watching a video of my second time and one on my 7th and last I see a better difference with turn my body but not the leg thing unfortunately the season just ended here it was very short no snow until mid Jan.
Next season I'm paying for a few hours of lessons because once you are taught correctly at least you can practice correctly lol -
Super helpful because we decided to go on a ski trip and the first day was terrible I fell many times I skiied before but I forgot how to. But these were some of the most helpful tips. I used snowplow the most.

Where r these vids shot ?

Excellent.. I know you mention it in other videos, bit it's important to let the skis flatten out between turns, which is what you are doing here.

Wow - the one two he describes is exactly what I have been doing - and getting away with it on Black Diamonds! However, on greens, I am can't do any better than my kids, who only do greens. Plus the one two wears my legs out so fast. I can't wait to try this subtle but amazing change next week in Colorado.

You slide your turns

Similar to Timothy - this is exactly what I do now. I am growing quickly as a skier, but I need to perfect this. Is the weight shift key to eliminating the two step? In other words, it looks like as you go into a turn, you are lifting up slightly, shifting your weight subtly against the direction you are going and then making the turn? I think the two step is done to get the skies around. Between your subtle weight shift and foot position changes, you are getting the skies turned around. Finally - your note on terrain and fatigue is spot on. When that happens, I go right to the two step. Thanks so much for this. Exceptional work here!

"Practice makes Permanent". Man I wish I'd thought of that. I'm going to steal it though; and may I add my thanks to you and your cameraman for making such a great and easy to follow series. I am currently sat at home on my sofa resting after a week in Andorra...I wish I'd spotted your videos a week before I went. Working towards Alpine Ski Leader and beyond...knees permitting. These will be of great help not only to myself but also when offering up tips to others.
