Carving skis is a fantastic skill. This will allow you to take control of the snow and turn the terrain with speed. Although it is not easy to learn, it will become a skill you can use to great effect.
How to carve skiing
The key to carving is a pair of skis that are designed for it. Sidecuts are a more skinny part of these skis that makes it easier to ski.
The conditions must be right for you to carve. If the snow becomes too hard or icy, it won't make it easy to carve. Also, you won’t have a good grip on your edges. The slopes should have a gentle gradient, long enough for you practice carving.
Your feet should be at least shoulder width apart while practicing your carving skills on the slope. This will make sure you don't lose balance or skis cross-tipping.
The most common method of turning in skis is the carved turn. This involves pressing the inside edge your downhill ski into snow. This will cause the snow to fall onto your ski, and your uphill skiing will follow. This will have a significant impact on how smoothly your turn turns.
Once your turn has started you should then roll the knees over so that the ski edges dig into the snow and steer your skis across the slope. While it's more difficult to do this if you're going downhill, it is crucial that you do so before you turn.
If you are doing this correctly you should be able to see two clear cuts in the snow from where your skis have carved, once you have done this correctly and are comfortable with it you should start practicing the carving phase of your turns. This is when you'll really gain speed and be able to better control your balance.
The best way to begin is with an edged traverse, on gentle or flat terrain from a stop and with a hip-wide stance point your skis across the fall line, tip them inwards onto a low edge angle and maintain this, leaning out towards your outside ski. Look uphill to ensure no one else is coming and then push your skis along the slope with flats or push them with poles.
The edged skis can be moved uphill while you turn. This will give the skis a more carved feel and make it easier to transfer your weight onto your uphill ski. This will help you to get used to the shape of your turn as well as the transition between your skis when you change skis.
