Two Check Points For Skiing Balance - Tom Gellie Presentation

If you’ve ever wondered what “good balance” really looks like in skiing, this session might give you a completely new way to think about it. I spent a morning with the Thredbo Ski School diving into the idea of staying balanced perpendicular to the slope — both in the transition and as you move through the fall line. We kept the progressions simple: starting with snowplow turns on beginner terrain and finishing with parallel turns on a mellow blue. The goal was to give instructors measurable checkpoints they can look for at specific phases of the turn, rather than relying on vague feel or guesswork. If you’re an instructor, a developing skier, or someone who loves understanding why good skiing works, I think you’ll get a lot from this.
