Carving well is the closest snowboarding gets to flying: the board bends and turns almost on its own. If you're stuck skidding the turn, the cause is nearly always the same — and with an instructor it's a quick fix.
Why carving is (probably) hard for you
The two most common causes: weight too far back, and rushing the turn. Both show up instantly on video and feel different the moment you fix them. It's not ten faults — it's one or two, repeated.
How we work on it
I warm up with you, watch a couple of turns, and pick the one thing holding you back. We adjust edge angle and where your weight sits, and repeat until it sticks. I film along the way and the video lands on your phone: seeing the difference between a carved turn and a skidded one changes everything.
Freestyle: same method, different skill
If the park is your goal, the approach doesn't change: one key correction per session. We usually start by freeing the upper body and looking ahead instead of down, then switch, butters and first jumps. The base — weight distribution on the board — is the same one that holds up good carving.
The session I recommend
For a real jump, Go Deep (4 h) gives enough time to fix something and lock it in the same day. Still torn between carving and freestyle? Read freestyle or carving: which lesson to choose. Durations and prices on pricing. Questions? Call me: +41 76 638 18 70.
