I have been reading this forum for a while now and I am interested in your ways.
Last weekend I got the opportunity to ski for a day, and decided to capture some video.
Snow conditions were as easy as they get: soft, a bit slushy snow. Temperatures were well above freezing all day (probably around 5 degrees Celsius). The run was quite sloped, but not really steep. Skiing on the flatter parts was not really possible because of the head on wind.
I just tried to make short turns in the best fashion I could.
I am very interested in what you guys think of my skiing and were I should work on most.
What I think:
I have some movement patterns ingrained that are very different from what I should strive for.
-CB & CA seem relatively okay to me.
-Flexing to release: terrible. I seem to be extending? This was better further down (I swear! .
-I push my skies around.
-Tipping: I think I did this, but this seems contrary to the above.
I think I should try to flex more in release and try not to push my skis around at the start of the turn. I know I get in trouble when things get steep on hard snow, and I think it are my transitions where I start to mess up already.
So: what do you think? What should I work on?
Thanks in advance
