Skiing Switch

Stagger your legs. If you look over your left shoulder, your right ski should should be in front

I like this tutorial the best: https://skiaddiction.com/blogs/skiing-basics/how-to-ski-switch

It just takes a lot of practice to get good at switch. It took me a over a year to be able to link turns looking over my left shoulder, and I still can't link them looking over my right. If you are non-stop shoulder swapping on every turn that also will make you want to pizza.

I learnt skiin switch pretty well in 3 days and now I tbh carve better switch than most ppl forwards at the mountain. I just skied this part of the mountain that I have to take to get to the park from the lift every single run. And ofc I practised it more over my left shoulder but I spin to right and that shouldnt be the case. Just ski sw a bit every run and it will come to you really quickly, for me to get decent at it, it took like 10 crashes where I caught an edge goin too fast or carved too hard and dipped to the side.. still got a lot of room for improvement tho

What this dude said. Spend all day riding groomers switch. Stagger your legs so your body opens up and you can look over your shoulder. You will be surprised how much you progress in just a day. Let me tell ya theres nothing better than carving a groomer switch while passing dudes wearing GS skis lol

I love goin to Beaver Creek or somewhere Boujiee like that and ski switch at like mach 12 down a groomer past all the ultra rich people and their wicked expensive gear, and carve harder backwards then half the ski racer kids and their dads.
