With today's skis it is all too easy to feel a bit of driving, but this ease can give the illusion of knowing how to ski well.

In most cases we see skiers who go too fast and with little control.
The watchword for learning to ski well and safely is "roundness". Only after having learned and practiced it will we be able to go faster with greater awareness, skill and control! It is therefore important to have many experiences of driving skis at reduced speeds, favoring the roundness of the curves rather than launching with fast and barely hinted curves, with a technique In order to progress quickly and well, try to round off the trajectory to almost go up the slope at the end of each curve, feeling the two ankles that, giving increasing intensity to the edge grip, make the edges bite progressively more and more on the snow.
The ski itself, by rounding the curve, will suggest the right dosage of this increasing intensity Once we have acquired the ability to make beautiful round curves, we will be able to dedicate ourselves to different rhythms on different slopes trying to solicit promptness, reactivity and also the coordination of the support to the maximum. We will see it in different episodes, calmly and step by step, to create the conditions to get to an advanced level skiing. Keep following us to ensure constant progress.
