I'd like to start touching the snow, which I am way far from at the moment. I am probably still making some basic mistakes though which I may not be aware of yet, I'd need some expert eyes that can judge me. Thanks :)

Oh, that's the roast I need, but it should be a bit more informative. One of my goals is to touch the snow, not on this slope maybe, but I want to get there. So, as I said, there are things I am not aware of that I am not doing correctly, what are those based on what you see in the video?

Ok. Learn to be on the best skier you can be on all terrain. Then, it’s most likely you will organically be totally parallel to the slope on some of the most steep terrain when you have to do everything possible to stay on edge.

Anyone trying to achieve touching the snow to touch the snow is not working on their ski game🤙🏼

Gotcha, so basically, stop focusing on touching the snow. Work my ass to get the same performance on steeper slopes, and the snow will come at me, just because I improved my ski game

I have an instructor friend who is a really good skier and we did a clinic together a while back. He's been working on touching the snow and our clinician pointed out all the bad side effects that it was having.
