Spaghetti legs drill - improve carving of the inside ski
In this instructional ski‑training video, Tom Gellie demonstrates the "Spaghetti legs" drill, a targeted exercise designed to help skiers develop better carving on the inside (downhill) ski. The video explains why inside‑ski carving often feels weak or unstable, then walks the viewer through the drill’s setup, body positioning, and movement pattern. Gellie shows how to keep the legs slightly separated and flexible—like strands of spaghetti—while maintaining edge pressure on the inside ski throughout a turn. He highlights key coaching cues, common mistakes (such as collapsing the inside leg or over‑rotating the hips), and offers progression tips for integrating the drill into regular on‑snow practice. The overall goal is to improve balance, edge control, and confidence when carving on the inside edge, leading to smoother, more efficient turns.
