In this episode, I sit down with Phil Smith, founder of Snoworks and one of the most forward-thinking coaches in skiing.

Phil shares a powerful shift in how we think about speed control — moving away from rigid technique and toward the idea of snow displacement. This single concept can change the way you approach steeps, bumps, and variable terrain.

We also talk about what it really means to become a versatile all-mountain skier. Phil’s ideas about skiing “open,” embracing the mountain, and letting go of overly measured technique offer a refreshing take — especially for those looking to move beyond the on-piste mindset.

Whether you’re a coach, instructor, or passionate skier, there’s plenty here to take back to the snow.
