Big Thank you to Carv for putting me on this challenge! Beyond fortunate to get to learn from these masters of the craft! I really enjoy my Carv’s and would suggest them to anyone looking to level up their turns.

Alex you were so much fun to hang out with and teaching you was an absolute pleasure. End of the day I think you were the winner upskilling your skiing in all these other turn types. Wishing you the best with your skiing career and YouTube. PS Robbie did a stellar job with filming and editing 💪

He killed that mogul run. Challanging for the instructors because he is already an excellent skiier

Don't lie! You loved moguls the most. I could tell you had the must fun.😂

A world class skier like Alex and he is humble enough to do a slid slip drill. He seems like such a genuine guy.

damn at 7:13 those skiers carving in the background

Alex I think you achieved the almost impossible and made Carv video who felt genuine. I tip my hat

Tom's got to be the best person in the world to learn short turns from.

Well, you’re all …ing amazing, but Matt going through that mogul field, even before the jump + twirl, is just out of this world

Tom's videos over the past couple years have got me to think about my skiing in an entirely different way. I grew up with no fundamentals. A group lesson the first time I went skiing at 10 years old and that was it. Since focusing on my form, I've found a whole new enjoyment for skiing. I leave in March for 5 days of backcountry skiing in BC!! Great video Alex

As a former instructor it makes my heart happy seeing you highlight these incredible guys

Hey,
your uphillshoulder is ALWAYS too far back, that causes your twists in your whole body.
Try to bring the uphillshoulder constantly more forward and work on your bodytension in the middle.
Good luck from a former skiying instructor❤

12:41 Alex is so smooth even when he crashes it looks completely normal

So sick. And this is all on ONE pair of skis 😮.. tell your sponsor to hook you up with custom carving or mogul skiis next! They'd get a good return on investment, from one of your vids

dude thank you for touching on comp-style moguls. it's becoming a pretty niche section of skiing, and it's so great hearing matt talk a little bit about how mogul skiers ski. i skied moguls competitively for a long time and got to train alongside matt here and there, and he's an incredible skier to watch.

glad you sent the kickers too, they can be beastly for their size!!
