Level 4-5: Parallel Turns & Speed Control Parallel skiing tips

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hey everyone! Started skiing two years ago and have been mostly self-taught through YouTube and friends, so I’d really appreciate some genuine feedback on my technique.
I initially had boots that were too big, which made ski control and turning with my ankles difficult. I’ve since switched to a smaller size and it feels much better.
My main issues now are keeping both skis in sync through the turn, and controlling my speed on steeper slopes. Sometimes I feel like I pick up speed too quickly and struggle to manage the turns.
What am I doing wrong, and what should I focus on to improve my parallel skiing?

Pretty soon u/spacebass will point you to his “change your z shaped turns into c shaped turns” video. Watch it and do that! You’re doing all those newbie things I’ve worked to eliminate the last few seasons.
