How to Carve Skis - Take Your Skiing to the Next Level || REI

Learning how to carve turns on your skis is a key skill that enables you to explore the entire mountain and have more fun while you’re at it. In this REI Expert Advice video, Mac Lyon, of the Professional Ski Instructors of America, explains the three phases of a turn and how to angle your skis in order to carve.

Carving is one of the best ways to stay in control while skiing all over the mountain. If you're a beginner, or still skidding your turns, learning to use your edges to carve is exhilarating, and opens huge fun on the mountain. To start carving turns, there are two skills to focus on: Rolling your knees and ankles, and keeping your weight forward. Every carved turn has three parts. The start of each turn is the initiation. Most of the actual carving happens in the shaping, and the end of the turn is the finish, where you dial back the power to prepare for the next turn.

In the initiation phase, rolling your knees and ankles starts by pointing your knees down the hill and rolling onto the big toe of your new outside foot as you start to weight that ski and engage its edge in the snow. Through the shaping of the turn, think about driving your knee toward the toe piece of your binding. That force transfers through the cuff of your boot and into your ski, bending it and carving your edges into the snow. The more pressure you put on your boot, the tighter the turn. On steeper terrain, or at faster speeds, you'll find a good carve takes more effort. On low angled slopes it's more relaxed. At the finish of each turn, you release the pressure you've built up by rolling your knees and ankles upright again, and shifting your weight to your new outside ski to prepare for your next initiation.

Keeping your weight forward throughout the whole turn is key to staying balanced and in control. While carving, you kind of feel like you're squatting over a chair. Your knees are bent, and your upper body is straight and slightly forward. Staying forwards means maintaining that position, even as the slope gets steeper. If you lean back, especially on steep runs, when you naturally want you, your skis run away from you, and you end up losing control. In the initiation, start bringing your hips forward and down the hill. As you shape the turn, keep your head and shoulders pointing down the hill in the direction you're skiing. Your lower body is twisting under you, but your upper body stays still and pointed downhill. In the finish of each turn, your upper body is still facing downhill, but your skis and your lower body are pointed across the slope. This is a perfect position for initiating your next turn.

There's a lot to think about when you start carving, but keep practicing. Remember to roll your knees and ankles, and keep your weight forward throughout one turn and into the next. Pretty soon, it becomes a rhythmic dance. As each turn initiates, it gets more powerful in the shaping, and backs off at the finish.

Ann Hamilton

Ann Hamilton presented a lecture on her nearly 30-year career as part of the Diamonstein-Spielvogel Lecture Series at the National Gallery of Art on September 16, 2011. Hamilton has made multimedia installations with stunning qualities and quantities of materials: a room lined with small canvas dummies, a table spread with human and animal teeth, the artist herself wearing a man's suit covered in a layer of thousands of toothpicks. Along the way, she has constantly set and reset the course of contemporary art. Often using sound, found objects, and the spoken and written word, as well as photography and video, her objects and environments invite us to embark on sensory and metaphorical explorations of time, language, and memory. Textiles and fabric have consistently played an important role in her performances and installations—whether she is considering clothing as a membrane or (more recently) treating architecture itself as a kind of skin. The Gallery owns 15 works by the artist, including photographs, prints, sculptures, and a video installation.

Then, one day, in the snowy wilderness, he encounters a wolf that looks exactly like the dog that led his father’s sled team. Despite the hostility of the townspeople, who fear the wolf will devour more of their livestock, the boy bonds with this dog, Kayla, who teaches him about love, loyalty, and self-sacrifice.

The Daily Sack Movie

Hack on actors and celebrities including myself and family.

Suspense: Mortmain / Quiet Desperation / Smiley

The program's heyday was in the early 1950s, when radio actor, producer and director Elliott Lewis took over (still during the Wilcox/Autolite run). Here the material reached new levels of sophistication. The writing was taut, and the casting, which had always been a strong point of the series (featuring such film stars as Orson Welles, Joseph Cotten, Henry Fonda, Humphrey Bogart, Judy Garland, Ronald Colman, Marlene Dietrich, Eve McVeagh, Lena Horne, and Cary Grant), took an unexpected turn when Lewis expanded the repertory to include many of radio's famous drama and comedy stars — often playing against type — such as Jack Benny. Jim and Marian Jordan of Fibber McGee and Molly were heard in the episode, Backseat Driver, which originally aired February 3, 1949.

The highest production values enhanced Suspense, and many of the shows retain their power to grip and entertain. At the time he took over Suspense, Lewis was familiar to radio fans for playing Frankie Remley, the wastrel guitar-playing sidekick to Phil Harris in The Phil Harris-Alice Faye Show. On the May 10, 1951 Suspense, Lewis reversed the roles with Death on My Hands: A bandleader (Harris) is horrified when an autograph-seeking fan accidentally shoots herself and dies in his hotel room, and a vocalist (Faye) tries to help him as the townfolk call for vigilante justice against him.

With the rise of television and the departures of Lewis and Autolite, subsequent producers (Antony Ellis, William N. Robson and others) struggled to maintain the series despite shrinking budgets, the availability of fewer name actors, and listenership decline. To save money, the program frequently used scripts first broadcast by another noteworthy CBS anthology, Escape. In addition to these tales of exotic adventure, Suspense expanded its repertoire to include more science fiction and supernatural content. By the end of its run, the series was remaking scripts from the long-canceled program The Mysterious Traveler. A time travel tale like Robert Arthur's The Man Who Went Back to Save Lincoln or a thriller about a death ray-wielding mad scientist would alternate with more run-of-the-mill crime dramas.
