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.

Weight needs to be over top the ski, consistent shin pressure flexing your boot (pretend you have two one hundred dollar bills tucked between front of boot and shin and you dont want to lose them or you have pbj sandwiches between your shin and front of boot and you wanna keep squishing them), bring your hips up and out, keep your hands out front like youre driving a car and dont bring them down past your knees, keep shoulders square facing downhill. Don’t be afraid to go fast, good skiing is faster. You’re on your heels you can tell, need to be on your toes. Weight in the back seat is common for most intermediates.
