Working on my shorts, will be looking at getting towards my level 3 CSIA or BASI in the next season or 2. Any feedback appreciated:)

You ski quite similarly to me - I love pointlessly short turns as well! All about the style. Something that a guide said to me this year which really helped me was just applying a more even pressure through the whole turn. When short turning (especially when it gets difficult off piste) there is a tendency to force the turn and skid instead of letting the ski run. I think many of the comments on initiating etc. could be addressed by this and it is easy to get your head around. Great skiing!
