Here is some pretty rough form. I have to say that there is nothing like watching yourself on video to get a different view of what is really going on with your skiing. If you have not had a chance to film yourself, I strongly suggest you find a way to do so. It is really enlightening when you look at something like flexing and you realize that you are flexing nowhere near as much as you think.
This is my first season of skiing. I have not had any PSIA lessons, nor have I spent much time trying to ski with wedges. I think that the first run that I ever did I used wedge turns and have not tried to do so since. I have all three books and have been reading through them. My intent with this run was just to make some turns trying to use PMTS principles on flexing and tipping. CB and CA are on my mind, but I am aware that I should probably focus on other things. Same thing for the poles. (I don't plant).
At this point, I welcome any thoughts on:
1) My biggest blocking issue.
2) Drills that I should really start focusing on, first.
I have my thoughts on the answers, but I would like to calibrate that against the community.
Instead of apologizing for my skiing, I'll just say that it gives everyone a lot to comment on! I appreciate the time anyone takes to look this over. This forum is really awesome in its' support for all levels of skiers, from Harold on down. I only hope that I can get away to a camp someday.

Oh, this is on what I would consider basic blue into green slope.
