Hi, this is my first MA request!
At the beginning of this season I was 25. I started skiing at 12, but only 1-2 days per season. This year I decided to really get into it, buying a season pass, my own gear, etc. After a few ski days, I turned online for tips to improve and discovered PMTS.
This is how I looked just before starting PMTS:
1/26/2019 was my first day attempting PMTS. Between then and now I skied 1-2 days per week with a couple of 3-day trips thrown in. I've been self-teaching using both Expert skier books, Essentials, the youtube videos, the slantboard series, and this forum.
Honestly, learning via PMTS has been amazing. The depth of knowledge and clarity of presentation is unmatched, and I could see a steady improvement in my skiing, which was addicting.
It's become more difficult to self-diagnose the next thing to work on from my own videos, so I was hoping to get some pointers from someone more experienced. This is my current skiing, taken yesterday:
A slightly older video, but could be useful for some more material:
I know that my alignment isn't great, see: http://www.pmts.org/pmtsforum/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=5487, but it's as good as I could make it using duct tape combined with on-snow assessments. I have plans to get the full Harb alignment done next season.
What do I need to work on? Is my skiing moving in the right direction, or is it back to book 1 page 1 for me?
Thanks for this forum and for PMTS!
