That has got to be an all-time top three powder ski videos. Thank you.

And in 20 years you will be good at it.

Cool video.

music is too loud, I can't hear the teacher properly

Thanks! I tried a lot of videos, thankful to have found this one. Holy hell it’s rough out there, for this topic. 👍🏼👍🏼

Very tasty skiing, well done! I wish I could do that.

Hands down best powder skiing lesson on the inter webs. Thanks for breaking it down so well!

The background music is too loud.

Thank you - always good to hear great tips from experienced powder pros! Can’t wait to try them out this week 😊

Turn it up to 11 Tobin

This was awesome!

you've just explained every and each of my mistakes lol

Was gonna send this to my beginner ski friend who’s a physicist, probably not after that base of support section 😅

14 years later, and I’m learning this tip! 👍

Not really parallel skiing, which is done with flat skis. What you're showing and describing is carving with the skis tilted.

BEST SKI INSTRUCTOR on the planet is Tobin.

Awesome tutorial!!!!

Phenomenal video. Thank you! It helps tremendously with troubleshooting

I have a question please. When skiing steep, is it ok if the arms/upper body is at the same Direction that your skies? I mean, the upper body dont look straigh to the valley. (Min 1:28 ) Thanks so much

Correct body weight position on skis i.e.not too far forward or back crucial for novices.Cheers

Nice banking in that first demo. Grade D. Initially I thought you were completely off. Turns out your higher end demos are acceptable. Your explanation is decent but could use a little refinement. Overall I’ll give you a solid B. And no. I’m not some slacker. Someone showed me this video and I had to correct a few misconceptions. Fine points. But still.

Very clear explanation, well presented thank you. 👍

Just had my first day of skiing and have been compiling videos to help me improve my parallel mechanics. This is really helpful!

Lily well done. Thank you😊

Great stuff! Super easy to understand

Does skiing on the right skis help too?

Does being on the right ski help as well?

I think youve confused centrifugal force with inertia. Neuton's first law of motion "an object at rest will stay at rest, as well as an object in motion will stay in motion, unless acted upon by an outside force." The same reason you lean in a car around a curve. Your body wants to continue going straight which is why you're pulled the other way.

I will be definitely be directing my friends who still yearn to master the fluffy stuff to this video. Brilliant, direct, concise and absolutely spot on . Thank you!

I took lessons once and the instructor counseled to be more patient with my skis as they were arcing -- ie make rounded turns and not Z turns. That was on a bluebird day and I got boot deep powder a day two after that. That rounded turn advice set me up for some good skiing!

I don't think I've ever heard the UA-cam ad survey music all the way through

as someone who is used to east coast skiing and is going to colorado next year for my bday, this is definitely gonna be handy for me, since i wanna practice this year... i also dont use poles, as i grew up not using them and still have a great balance, so thats something im also gonna try this year. great video, definitely useful!

The board looks amazing and works so well. This board set up gives absolute control and maneuverability. I use it any chance I get and I highly recommend this product.

A double black becomes a blue under two or three feet of untracked powder. There's nothing closer to flying except perhaps squirrel suits. And if the sun is at your back your shadow makes for a delightful feedback, an instantaneous, intense, aesthetic feeling. If I could put that feeling in a bottle I would save it to restore my spirit as I approach my last horizon.

For those of you who wish to conserve energy and reduce leg fatigue keep your uphill leg as straight as possible and put all of your weight on it. This provides your downhill leg a moment of complete relaxation and maximal blood flow. This works on all surfaces except difficult conditions like those with large chunks of crud or thick wet snow. But in the case of untracked powder with the sun at your back it is very easy to accomplish and with the extra energy you may choose to skip lunch.

I love it that you don't wear a helmet. I think they are totally overrated. Perhaps another tip, which you do perfectly, is to keep turning and keep the rhythm, as you have to be positive. One of the worst things you can do is turn and then traverse. Keep up the good work, love your skiing.

These are the two hardest things for skiers to overcome. 1. Finding correct ski teaching. The world's instructors tell you what skiing looks and feels like while using complicated and meaningless words instead of how to position your upper body and change your weight and balance to allow the skis to turn and make you look and feel like that. That's not teaching, it's Show with no Tell. 2. Having the "Time" to practice Balancing and Moving on one foot after the other which is what ski need from you. A good way to get that experience is right at home on roller or inline skates. Balancing while moving! Then you can have an unlimited amount of practice. Yes, the moves and feelings are exactly like skiing.

Actually, you lead a turn by looking, facing and leaning down the hill and during this slight upper body rotation, you rotate your pelvis and then your knees. As you take your weight off your downhill foot to balance on your uphill foot, you face down the hill and think of your kneecaps as headlights illuminating your path down the hill. 0:30 When you start a turn as I described above, your shins will be pressed into the tongue of your boots. As the skis continue to make the turn, your knees are still pressing into the tongue and you just happen to be leaning them towards the woods at the end of the turn, but you don't have to think about it. You just have to position yourself correctly to start the turn and go for a ride. At the start of the turn face down the hill, point your knees down the hill and that's it. The skis make you face across the slope, you don't think about facing across the slope. Like right here. 0:10

Holy cow what mountain is this? The view is incredible...

Your last tip is the best. Before buying fat powder skis that skim the top of deep powder try your skinny skis and learn to love the sensation of porpoising up and down in rhythm while bouncing left and right

1:00 A turn starts from your face down, not from your feet up!!! Just because you have ski on your feet, doesn't mean turns start there. They Finish there! 1:10 The skiing here is a demonstration of what I say below. Notice how this turn originates from the head down, not from the feet up. The entire upper body falls down the hill while the skis continue across the hill which creates the new leg angle for the weight change to the right foot. The pillow demonstration is incomplete. You HAVE to get off that left foot and then slide your entire upper body over to the pillow. In this demonstration, you will end up instantly applying your weight to the inside ski where you shouldn't be. There has to be a distinct change of weight from your downhill to uphill foot before you change your upper body position to start the next turn. This is the anatomically correct way to think about this. Imagine there is a stool to your right, and you want to rest your right cheek on the edge of that stool. Take your weight off your right foot, lift your right cheek and slide it over to the edge of that right stool. By lifting your cheek, you are forcing your upper body to stay vertical so you can be balanced on your left foot. By sliding your cheek over to the stool, you are creating the leg angle that rolls your left ski over onto the inside edge. The farther you slide your cheek over, the steeper the leg angle and the harder you will be on edge allowing the skis to bend to its maximum. During this maneuver, you have to keep pressure against the tongue of your boots, so your weight is on the tips of your skis. You help this to happen by leaning and facing your upper body down the hill at the start of the turn.

The hardest part for me, knowing that I need more speed, but being unable to really stop as quickly as I'd feel comfortable, really kills the confidence. I don't want to go fast if I can't stop when I want to.

Yep, 70mm Skinny skis are so fun in deep steep light powder, but not as versatile and certainly requires very dynamic skiing and physically more demanding. But chest deep you got it. As water content increases, get on fat(ter) skis.

Recorded in December 2015?

Great!

Great drill man, tnx!

Best powder skiing video I have seen. Love it!!

So will I be able to ski pow with my 65mm slalom skis with proper technique?

Great instruction. Helps to get ready to ski powder….can’t wait

Skiing "powder" in the PNW is just easier on a snowboard. All great tips, but if your just learning & the snow is very heavy & deep, then go back to the groomers because if you're on an all mountain ski you will not float & you'll risk an ACL tear. Injury is not fun.
