    What If Your Skis Knew You? | Custom Ski Design with Original Plus

    In this episode of the Big Picture Skiing Podcast, I dive into the world of custom ski design with my friends Demelza Clay and Jason Simpson. We talk about how companies like Original Plus are creating skis built specifically around you — using details like your height, weight, skiing style, and even where you ski most. I share my own experience switching to custom skis and an interesting chat I had with Siggi Rumpfhuber, one of the founders of Original Plus, about the idea of the “perfect ski.” We unpack how flex patterns, torsional stiffness, and snow conditions all affect how a ski feels — and why the right ski might just be the one that’s designed for you. 👀 If you were intrigued by the Original Plus concept and want a ski designed just for you checkout the Original Plus website here: https://www.original.plus/tomgellie 🛟 Use code TGELLIE15 to take 15% off your ski!

    Why Feel Matters More Than Form in Ski Racing – with Emma Carrick-Anderson

    In this episode, I sit down with four-time Olympian Emma Carrick-Anderson for a powerful conversation about skiing, parenting, and coaching at the elite level. Emma shares how her philosophy has shifted from the traditional, form-focused training she experienced as an athlete to a more exploratory, feel-based approach—one that she and her husband, Phil Smith, used to raise their children who are now knocking on the door of the World Cup circuit. We talk about:  • Why developing feel and versatility on the mountain trumps chasing a perfect-looking turn  • How Emma’s Olympic background shapes her parenting and coaching  • Equipment insights, including the flatter vs. supportive footbed debate  • Practical takeaways for parents, coaches, and everyday skiers Whether you’re raising young skiers, coaching others, or simply looking to improve your own skiing, Emma’s experience and insight offer something valuable.

    Speed Control Through Snow Displacement - Not Traditional Technique

    In this episode, I sit down with Phil Smith, founder of Snoworks and one of the most forward-thinking ski coaches in the game. Phil shares a powerful shift in perspective around speed control — moving away from rigid technical cues and instead focusing on the concept of snow displacement. This insight alone can change the way you think about skiing steeps, bumps, and variable snow. We also dive into what it really means to become a versatile all-mountain skier. Phil talks about skiing “open,” embracing the mountain, and moving beyond the narrow lens of measured technique. His philosophy is refreshing, especially for skiers who want to break out of the on-piste mindset and truly explore. Whether you’re a coach, instructor, or passionate skier, you’ll walk away from this episode with new ideas to experiment with next time you’re on snow. Enjoyed this discussion?
