Olympian Erik Schlopy on Carving, Gear, and Coaching Smarter

In this episode, I chat with Olympian Erik Schlopy about all things skiing—from gear setup to what most people are missing in their carving. We also get into his coaching philosophy, how he’s helping his own son progress, and some great drills you can try to build better balance and control on snow. It’s a deeper, more refined conversation than our last one, and there’s heaps of gold in here for anyone serious about improving their skiing. 🎿 Interested in training with Erik in person?
