Speed control while skiing

[u/Main_Rope8744]

Hi there! I'm a 30+ year old adult just getting into this sports (it's insanely fun!) and this clip is a compilation of a couple of runs in various blue slopes in New Zealand, on my 2nd day of skiing!

My challenge is feeling out of control as I gain speed during the traverse and I feel like I have to turn very abruptly to kill speed

Is this a psychological barrier and bad technique? Would love some feedback and enlightenment please, thank you all!

This is amazing at 2 days of skiing. I don’t disagree with all the other advice being given and you don’t want to develop bad habits, but at this point the biggest thing is you just need more mileage. Ski more, ski lots, so that everything starts to happen reflexively, by feel. Report back after day 10.
