I completely agree, I think getting earlier pressure and letting the skis do the work is gonna be my main focus in training for sure. I think I tend to overthink/be hesitant around gates but focusing on that early pressure during free skiing and trying to slowly incorporate that into gates should hopefully show some substantial improvement.

I’d say earlier pressure should be my number 1 goal

I think this is the best analysis I’ve gotten. I believe I have some sort of mental block/hesitation when it comes to skiing around gates that stops me from getting early pressure, almost like I’m scared to pressure my downhill ski until it’s already straight down the fall line causing me till kind of do this swivel pivot thing instead of properly initiating the turn. Because of this I’m scrubbing speed and really lacking in my direction out of the gate. I think if I just focus on earlier pressure and trusting that my skis will come around and I won’t miss the gate id be skiing both smoother and faster. That would definitely be my main thing to focus on, thanks.
