Double edge pressure ski drill. An Austrian inspired drill for your short turns #skiing
In this instructional video, Tom Gellie demonstrates the "Double Edge Pressure" ski drill, drawing inspiration from Austrian ski teaching methods to improve short turn performance. The drill emphasizes balanced, simultaneous pressure on both ski edges to enhance edge control, stability, and turn initiation. Gellie explains the underlying principles, shows the correct body posture, weight distribution, and timing, and provides step‑by‑step visual examples on the slope. Viewers learn how to integrate the drill into their practice routine, common mistakes to avoid, and how the technique translates to smoother, more precise short turns on varied terrain.
