Yeah, that was a magical moment when I had to turn completely across the fall line to bleed speed and it took a bit to realize what was going on. Obviously I was just getting carving down, at least the basics of it.

What is more at the end of last season I finally started to harvest speed from my carves! A buddy of mine told me to over-emphasize a up-motion as I change my edges, I suddenly found myself getting bucked into the back seat on a regular basis. It was the last day I skied last season and I’m really looking forward to this season. My main aim this year is to narrow up my stance.

Thanks for reading and the comment!

As you discovered, if you aren’t turning until your skis are across the fall line, you have to skid to slow down.
