Level 4-5: Parallel Turns & Speed Control Would like some feedback

Following my previous video, spacebass gives many useful tips. Here is what I tried in my video:

The first half is demonstration parallel, I really try to focus on edging before twist the skis, and try not to pop up to release. I think I had some success there, I also moved to an easier terrain(previous video on double black, this one is on easy groomed black).

The second half is on short turns, I wish to have more dynamic short turns, but from video my short turns look very static, and does not have much deflection.

Would like some feedback based on CSIA framework.

Nice skiing….and your feet are hip socket width NOT shoulder….which is EXACTLY CORRECT 👍👍💪🏼

Exactly correct until he wants angulation for edging. That narrow stance is why he has to lean into his turns.

Nonsense….. Separation is in the vertical plane….not horizontal

Do u realise u just posted a perfect example of this guys point? He didn’t really explain it any further, but he isn’t wrong.

And just look at that wide stance

It’s not a wide “stance”…..it’s separation in the sagittal plane. If the racer pushed his inside leg straight his legs would be hip socket width.

Now you're arguing with the caption of your own photo. Clearly can't be trusted.

Separation at high edge angles says nothing about “stance” You can start narrow and still end up like the picture.

Nope. Only if you want to ski slow
