Here's the scoop on Turn Lab.
Turn Lab is an iOS app that teaches you to ski better through 20 structured skills and mental cues that stick. Your coaches Johnny and Paige guide you from pizza wedge to powder skiing. Free to download with 5 beginner skills included.
Yes! Turn Lab offers 5 free beginner skills with full content including mental cues, videos, and drills. The premium upgrade costs $9.99 one-time (no subscription) and unlocks all 20 skills plus the home screen widget.
Mental cues are vivid images that help you remember skiing technique on the slopes. For example, instead of 'apply inside edge pressure,' Turn Lab says 'imagine your ski is a pizza slice.' These simple images stick with you on the chairlift and help you apply technique when you need it most.
Turn Lab teaches parallel turns through progressive skill building. Start with wedge turns (pizza position), then graduate to wedge christie where your skis come parallel at the end of each turn, and finally basic parallel turns. The app's mental cue for parallel turns is: 'Tip the skis together like one unit.' Practice on gentle blue runs first.
Turn Lab covers 4 skill levels with 20 total skills: Beginner (5 skills: basic stance, gliding, wedge position, wedge turns, wedge stop), Novice (wedge christie, traverse, speed control), Intermediate (parallel turns, hockey stop, carving basics), and Expert (moguls, powder, steep terrain, dynamic turns).
Turn Lab complements real ski lessons—it doesn't replace them. Use it to prepare before lessons, remember what your instructor taught, and practice between ski trips. The mental cues help you retain technique when you're not on the slopes. Professional instruction is still recommended, especially for beginners.
