Jumping

Do not miss out on Jumps. Sometimes it does look scary but it is actually super fun. Just pay attention to a few details so your ski day does not end in the hospital.

1. Make sure to lean forward when you jump. Don‘t get caught up in a suspine position, you‘ll most likely not be able to land the jump.

2. Try to find the perfect speed when you approach a jump. If you go to fast, it‘ll be harder to land. If you go to slow, you will land on a flat surface. This will hurt both your knees and back.


Short Radius Skiing

In order to be a master of short radii, a lot of practice is necessary. To get of a good start, make sure to have your edges in good condition and if possible, rent out slalom skis.

1. The most important thing is that your upper body stays calm and simply follows the up and down movement. Once you are in the fall-line, put weight onto your outside ski and drag the edge into the snow. You‘ll automatically begin the drive.

2. Once you made the curve, take the weight of your outside foot and lift your upper body slightly. The skis automatically go back into the fall-line. Then, put weight on the other leg, which is now your outside ski, to curve the other way.

3. Make sure you get a good rythm and enjoy the most complicated form of skiing - the slalom!
