Warren Jobbitt is a legend within the ski industry and for good reason. His experience as well as thirst for knowledge and clear instruction is among the greatest I have come across. And if you watch any of his recent videos on YouTube you will see that at 50 years old he is skiing smoother and technically better than he ever has (his own words and I agree!). Tune and see what you can learn from Warren I think you will really enjoy it.

Thanks Tom Gellie

This episode features Tim Cafe ex Olympian and former coach to WC ski phenom Alice Robinson. Why would you listen to this episode? For at least three reasons.

1. Tim talks to us about binding placement and delta. Two things critical that most skiers do not consider and do not play with much. If you do you know how big a difference it can make. Tim has already been playing with his bindings on different skis this season.
2. Tim has coached Alice Robinson right up until she made the World Cup. Hear some of his stories and insights into Alice’s Skiing. He even played with her binding position at times without her being aware. Why? Listen to find out.
3. Tim takes nothing for granted. If someone says you shouldn’t do it this way he will test and experiment himself. Do the work to figure it out and make his own mind up about it. I hope that after this episode the listener feels more confident in doing some of this themselves and taking ownership of whatever it is they are trying to learn or master.

I hope you enjoy this episode it was one of my favourites. I say that every time I think, I really enjoy being able to talk skiing and then you the listener tune in like you were there too. If you have any feedback from this or any other episode please get in touch via the bigpictureskiing.com website.

Cheers Tom Gellie

Tomas Marnics has cut a niche for himself in the ski industry running his own ski camps based on his own findings as well as what he sees the best skiers in the world doing. He comes from the viewpoint of testing and comparing different ways to move on skis always with the goal of more power and alignment with the forces.

Please check him out on instagram to see the great images and videos of his skiing. If you want to hear a different perspective on counter rotation Tomas gives great explanations based on looking at other sports and even animals as to why counter rotation is more of a result later in the turn and not something skiers should try and force into their skiing.

I contacted Tomas because I see many similarities in the way he thinks about skiing and types of concepts he teaches to get his students skiing more fluidly and with greater power. We had a great discussion i hope you enjoy this long overdue episode.
