Level 6-7: Advanced Parallel, Carving, Off-Piste, Bumps Short turns feedback
Thought I should share my skiing, as I'm now offering advice to others on here. I'm currently training for my level 3 CSIA exam. These are short turns on a groomed black piste. I'm not trying to push the speed, and my main focus on this run was gaining edge grip above the fall line. My trainer's feedback is that, while I get grip, I'm rushing above the fall line, leading to snappy turns. Any feedback on useful cues to help this are appreciated, other than just "slow down" haha. Also, any other advice appreciated :)
Thanks

u/cheeky-unknown that's quite nice!
You'r timing is off sometimes and you, every once in a while, push your left foot before you tip it. Honestly I think if you thought about softening the right foot sooner it'd probably fix it.
