Ok Guys, tell me what I need to focus on for the next 3 months..
I've never been to a camp but have taken a full day private lesson with Richie last year.
I watch HH's vids constantly,
I try and be aware of every move I make on every turn..
I know I have a really bad habit of dropping my hands, especially the right one, and have been trying to focus on that this year.. and feel my hand position has improved but still not where it should be.
When I took the lesson with Richie last season, the feedback that I kept getting was that I would start a run using correct movements but then deviate away from those movements at some point in the run. This year I've tried to focus on taking my runs in shorter segments and trying to hold what I hope are PMTS movements, consistently, to help get them into my muscle memory
What I'm looking is feedback to help me improve.. If I'm not performing PMTS movements, tell me..
Here are two vids from this season.. the first has 3 clips..
The first clip, is on relatively flat terrain, packed snow. The second, on an average intermediate pitch with about 2 inches of Fresh Snow. The third clip is on a little steeper pitch the same day as clip 2, with about 8 inches of chopped up snow, and some very soft small bumps starting to form. The skis in all clips are 170 Peak 78's (09-10 model)
The second vid is everything in the first (but everything is in Slo Mo) with an extra clip added on much steeper terrain with probably about 10 inches of fresh snow and bumps. Both vids are in hi def..
