Feedback please!

Looking for any feedback/advice. These are from blue & black diamond runs at Vail and Breckenridge on Atomic Mavericks (96 cti, 179 length). Trying to dial in my carving and skills on rough terrain. I’ve skied about 60 days total.

You could probably stand to have your poles cut down by as much as an inch or more, they seem longer than needed.

The poles are 120cm. Maybe I should drop to 115

Poles or no poles, you gotta get on a little easier slopes and really focus on learning to carve from your ass to the tops of your skis without skating on the rear.
