If you're feeling out of control when the terrain changes, or you struggle to turn when you need on snow - you'll want these 4 stability tips.
If you're a Carv user, this content will help you get higher balance scores (both start of turn and end of turn) and get that new Ski:IQ high score this winter.
Crack a walnut, use a chair, flex your gluts and ski like a dolphin. It might sound random, but these are ways you can seriously upgrade your control on snow.
Richard Amacker, one of the most stylish and smooth skiers out there, takes us through the mechanics of building control on skis. Hint: it's all about your stance and balance.
He's using Carv here to show his balance - because watching how to ski is one thing, but learning what great technique feels like is a whole new challenge. That's why we built Carv - to give you objective and accurate feedback.
