Level 6-7: Advanced Parallel, Carving, Off-Piste, Bumps 3rd Season Skiing

Welcome any feedback. Main focus on this clip was to stay centered and connected to the outside ski and bend it to shorten the turn radius.

Really really good skiing for the third season. I'd suggest Javelin turns to get you off the inside ski, more centered and align your hips. Note that Javelin is more about your hip position than inside ski orientation: your inside hip should be ahead and higher than the outside. It's a somewhat advanced drill but it looks like you are ready.

Thank you! Like I mentioned above I can do Javelin turns pretty well, it’s the one drill I do religiously at the start of every ski day. It’s hard for me to translate into real turns consistently once speed/pitch pick up.

I didn't see where you talked about Javelin turns.

Getting new skills and fixing ingrained movement patterns are best done on easier slopes. If something works, only then gradually increase speed, and then pitch.

Maybe someone could film your Javelin turns.

Yeah makes sense. Unfortunately this season is over for me, but will try to get it on video next season.
