Tired of skidding down the slope when you’re trying to turn? It’s not just you—most skiers hit this wall.
Carving looks smooth, but getting there feels anything but.
Carving isn’t about forcing your skis around. It’s about rolling your knees and ankles to engage the edges.
When you get this right, your skis grip the snow, and you glide through turns—not skid across them.
What’s happening if you’re skidding:
You’re likely twisting your upper body to turn, instead of letting your lower body do the work.
Your edges aren’t biting because your knees and ankles aren’t rolling into the turn.
You’re relying on strength when control and technique are what actually matter.
Focus on smooth edge pressure from your knees and ankles. The more control you have there, the less effort your turns need—and the better your carving gets.
At The Edge Strength and Conditioning in Exeter, I help people over 40 build the strength and control they need for skiing, golf, and mountain biking. My Ski Fit, Golf Strength, and Mountain Biking Performance plans focus on what actually works for your body as you get older.
My Be Stronger After 40 program helps you build strength and drop fat, so you stay fit and ready for anything.
Want to ski with more control this season? Let’s get to work.
