Carving is where the edges cut into the snow so well that the skis do not slide sideways, and travel straight along their length. Ski racers try to carve all the time, as it is the quickest way down the mountain, and conserves as much of their speed as possible. We will practice the three essential principles that define a ski turn : Initiation, Shaping and Finishing. This helps you on the groomed piste in ice conditions but also to start your adventure outside the piste, because you will be able to asses, feel and control not only your posture but also your center of gravity.
