In this video, I break down the Retraction Extension Turn — an advanced ski transition movement — into four simple steps so you can learn it safely and effectively.

This drill focuses on the transition phase of your turns, helping you:
✅ Stay low and stable through edge changes
✅ Time your extension for maximum grip and pressure
✅ Build control and confidence on steeper slopes
✅ Apply the same principles to larger moguls and variable terrain

Each step is designed to build progressively — from finding a strong low stance, to practicing timing, then linking controlled turns that develop power and flow without relying on speed.

If you’re still building your carving foundation, start with my “4 Steps to Better Carving” video first — it’ll set you up perfectly for this progression.
