Technical off-piste ski videos: Post your favorites

Those turns are perfect for me.

Agree! I love watching this stuff.

I think you know what I mean. Some could easily get into the weeds. "Well.....on a LOT of those turns, Marcus has ALL of his weight on the WRONG ski!!"

On something intended to be fun and an expression of his skiing and what he loves, I could frankly give a rat's ass about the lack of details, perfection, whatever.

Fun and play meter is pinned to the max!

"Well.....on a LOT of those turns, Marcus has ALL of his weight on the WRONG ski!!"

Having learned of Marcus Caston in this thread, I started watching more videos of him, then started following him on Instagram. Love this one, and its caption.

Anyway, I have a right and left ski. I even have an uphill and downhill ski. But, last year, starting to learn how to teach, I came to know that it's an inside and outside ski, not uphill and downhill. So, I suppose there could be a right and wrong ski too. Which one is wrong? The left or right one?

No right or wrong. Just this or that

There is so much that is inspirational in Marcus's skiing. Is his groomer skiing technically perfect? No, but who's is? All I know is there's a huge amount of ski performance coming out of his skiing. And a lot of athleticism. Finally, versatility.

Pretty amazing.

Since it no longer has to be offpiste



But, let's try to keep it technical, but fun, ok?

 

[Mike King]

Nice Karlo, but those videos don't compare to Marcus's groomer skiing...

No, not even close technically. But, these guys are sure having a lot of fun. Ok, I'll keep it more technical.

Hasn't this been posted on here a few times in past couple of weeks?
Still, it's a fun video!

Oh, darn

Tom Gellie's "3D joint motions of skiing (The feet, knees and hips)"


I love the closing statements.

"Analyze yourself"
What is foreign, this is "where you will find your next breakthrough"

Can you all please take this discussion elsewhere? It’s got nothing to do with the topic anymore. And as the OP I’m tired of getting alerts of a bunch of non doctors talking about anatomy rather than vids of skiing.

And anyway, as the OP suggests, the thread has drifted radically. Joint articulation is an interesting subject, no doubt. Maybe someone can launch a new thread on that topic.

In an attempt to realign, here's our own @HeluvaSkier with a little off-piste, a little on (hope this hasn't been posted already):

Sorry about that OP. I didn't see your last post before I continued. Though, I think that ship sailed at page 2 when it turned into a Marcus caston thread. Not that I mind. He's a great skier to watch that I didn't know about until this thread diverted. However, I might say that the very last nail went into the coffin as soon as Karlo posted a video of "fun carving". Complete ski school thread technical blasphemy!

This is a promo video for Whistler Blackcomb I stumbled upon and it contains some rowdy in-bounds off-piste skiing. As someone else mentioned, I really enjoy segments in ski movies where the terrain being skied is assessable via a lift. Even if I don't have the ability to ski it, it somehow makes it more attainable.

The first ski segment starts at 4:20:

And, who is that masked man? Could that be Eric Hjorleifson on Salomon skis?!! No,can't be, can it?

Given it's been very publicly advertised that the's still with 4FRNT, and he's a major Dynafit athlete...I don't think it's him.

You must be right. Yet, he is mentioned in the credits. Did you see him elsewhere? I must have missed it, though this is a trailer right?
