okay guys, finally we have the powder day all right, so powder day is the kind of day that a lot of people love.
好吧,夥伴們,我們終於等到鬆雪了,很多人喜歡都這樣的鬆雪天氣。
okay, but there's some folks that aren't you psyched about it, because they don't know how to ski it, so let's go over some of the basics for skiing powder.
okay, now let's get nice and centered your ankles, bending on your shins. our weight pressing into the front of your boots. we kind of bounce while we're standing here.
okay, now let's jump while we're standing here. is that a little easier than it was when you were way back ? this bouncing idea is really works to our advantage and we're skiing powder okay.
so we're going to go straight down this moderate piste. alright, you'll get a little bit of speed, and I want you guys to just bounce like a trampoline.and notice and feel when you sink into the snow that you slow down.
and then you come up, and then you sink into the snow, and you slow down. all of this snow around your feet, helps you with your speed control and powder okay. so let's get this bouncing feeling happening.
did you - by any chance see my video where I carved out a little hollow in the snow, I put my skis on edge and I bent the ski. and then you kind of get this trampolining effect when you carve. it's a similar sort of thing when we're in the powder.
when you bounce up and down, your ski bends it bends down into the snow, and then you've got some energy. that that bent ski actually helps propel you, and that can help almost bounce you out of the snow.
so when you have your momentum going through the powder, you're making your teeth your turn. and you press into the snow with both of your feet bang, can help bounce you out of the snow. then you press and it bounces you out of the snow, and with these traversing and the bouncing it's giving you that feeling of flexing and extending, flexing, extending.
so we're gonna make a few turns on the firmer snow, and do one more little exercise, and then bring it back into the powder.
接著我們要在堅硬的雪面上滑幾圈,再做一點運動,然後再回來滑鬆雪。
okay I'd like you to make make a line in the snow now. you could make a line in the snow you know how we do, that we sit on our poles we drag our poles and we make a line right behind us. we could do that, but I want to be able to do a demo.so if you can go straight ahead skis together. you're going to give us kind of a reference line, that we're going to use for this exercise.
what we're gonna do. guys jump over the center line, land in turn. we're gonna get this bouncy action happening in our turns. okay, I'm going to show you, because I'm gonna give you a demo.
okay, and seeders gonna make it just right down the fall line. Cedar you're gonna be jumping over that line good bouncy out of angles, and your knees we're not bouncing with through our back and arms.
okay, we're just nice and quiet upper body bouncing out of our ankles and knees. okay, we're turn and bounce over the line, they were kind of seeing the timing of the bounce. nice turn bounce turn bounce turn bounce turn bounce turn bounce.
there's some good bouncy action happening. you know what they say caiman no friends on a powder day. you sure you want to show me your special stash. let's draw the line down the fall line make our turn, and hop over the line, and make our turn hunt and hop over the line just so weak, that we've got a little more pitch.
remember you guys when people are skiing powder, and they're less experienced. and maybe they're a little scared. they get back here right and what how is it to jump from back here ? yeah it's hard.
you're just plowing through this heavy snow, and you're stuck. you can't make your legs long. you can't make your legs short. right, we're we're nice and balanced. we get this hopping effect happening our skis get lighter then we can turn. our skis get lighter and then we can turn.
okay, it's really important to be athletic and active, and when I say active, I mean your legs are short and long. short and long, short and long, and you can't do that from back here.
okay, so I'll make the line, and then afterwards you guys make your turn. then hop make your turn, and hop here's your line down. the fall line let's see you make your turn and hop over that line nice, and centered over your Skeets.
don't forget our poll plants came in nice, and bouncy with your poll plants go ahead. oh ! yeah ! the natural next step you guys we traversed and we bounced. we did the fall line turn and bounce.
now, we're gonna be on a groomed rottweil a run, that was groomed last night that has nice fresh powder on it. so you know what to expect in terms of the surface. so go ahead and eye your line and let's get that nice bouncy. flowy feeling through this powder.
Cayman go big nice job, good job guys. it's time to take it into the moguls. one thing that is for sure about you, two is you guys love this it is awesome and it shows in your skiing.
guys okay ! so mogul run what we're gonna. show all of your you ten buddies is really awesome. pulp lamps which you guys have really uggs awesome absorption of those bumps in the powder, and also you guys have really good tactics, which means you're not coming across the hill too far. and slowing down.
you're keeping your momentum while you're turning. going down the hill which is really helpful in this deep snow. so let's see it guys just like you've been skiing all morning. you we're as eight and nine-year-olds.
we have our one pair of skis. we might have two at the most right. and on powder days. there's folks that have really fat big skis, and you can just sort of squiggle down, and stay on top, and a floating over this powder for us with wit just our our one pair, and that definitely is not a fat ski.
all this very active dynamic skiing is important, and it's good. I mean people your age can be totally centered as you guys are really active. good pull plants, you don't need a really fat ski. you can use whatever tool. you've got and rip this stuff up and this is what we have.
so let's have fun with it freshies adrian practicing getting bouncy, then you can just ski the spirit of that exercise flexing and standing without actually jumping.
hey ! Adrian I see you really practicing that which is awesome, and then once you feel like, you've really got the timing and tempo of it. you don't actually have to jump, but you can ski the spirit of that exercise. you extend and then you flex and extend and bounce.
it's kind of a it's just a a soft subtle bouncing through this powder. so fun this right here is really good terrain for that trampoline. II bouncy introduction to the powder progression. this is perfect bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce,
well and seeing the powder come up around your feet. you guys that's something that's so unique about powder, because that helps slow you down. all that powder around your feet is a lot of resistance, and some friction, and it helps control your speed in the powder.
when you're on groomers you use your turn shape. you know and you're making those nice carve turns. so that you don't get going too fast when you're.
when you're in the powder. you can, and your turn you sort of press down into that pouf, and then you come up, then you flex the knees, and you press down into that pouf, and you're. so you're working extension and flexion, and that's what helps control your speed.
in the pattern you don't have to come across the hill so much. that makes sense, and that's what you guys do really well what came in. you don't have to exactly, because there's all of that pouf around your feet, and flying up into your face, and needing a snorkel you as turning your legs and absorbing the Moghuls it was awesome you you
