The Importance of Fundamentals in Skiing

If you really want to be fast and accurate in the gates then spend a bit more time developing solid technique and skills before entering the gates. Here are a few tips when working on fundamentals:
Ski slowly! If you cant make all the correct movements at the right time in the right place at a slow speed then it is unlikely you will make them at a higher speed. It is also one of the best ways to identify faults. I had the privilege of working with Dave Ryding and coach Tristan Glasse-Davies this summer who spent 2 months breaking down Dave’s left footed turn at excruciatingly slow speeds!
Drills have their place. Some coaches like them, some not so much. I think it’s important for the learner to know why they are doing them and making sure that they are mastered properly. It is also important to find out what works best for you. Check Mikela Shiffrin’s tips on drills:
Take lots of video and spend time analyzing it. Plan a way you are going to change your mistakes. Visualization can play a big part in this.
Ski on ice. Hero snow is lovely for feeling grip and confidence but ice will separate the wheat from the chaff. Prep your skis well and learn to ski on ice; it will highlight all your weaknesses in one run, probably more than a week of skiing on hero snow will!
Challenge those fundamentals. The use of many different types of brushes courses, corridors, hopping, Swedish turns, Cormayeur shuffle, corridors, GS in bumps, different skis, slalom turns etc. I know it’s a bit cheesy but become one with the environment on any slope/condition so you are ready for anything.
There is no magic wand. If you want to change your ski performance then you must put in the hours. So many hours! Look at things more long term, set reasonable goals rather than poking a little here and there while hoping you’ll become a world cup skier in a week!
