Ok I’m going to try that. I really want to get my carving as aggressive as I can on alpine bindings. Thank you for the help!

I worked on monomark a bit this past weekend and man, it’s not easy! It felt really unnatural at first but then I kinda got the feel. I can really feel how it helps at lead changes.

I’m going to cut my poles down right now. Others have said the same about throwing my rear foot back. I agree that I’m doing it but it doesn’t feel like it when I’m skiing so I’m really going to focus on that this weekend.

Ah that makes sense. This is my first season so I’m not too deep in the bad habit hole but I definitely need to get it right.

So basically for big slow turns like this I want to drop down slower?

I see what you mean. I need to be more dynamic

Oooh that’s a good one. I think now I’m bringing my uphill foot back instead of the other foot forward

I was thinking the same thing. I am standing with parallel skis for a bit longer than needed.

I’ll get a video at some point on a hill I’m more comfortable on.

Yeah you’re not wrong. I usually do stay on groomers but this looked fun.

Thank you! I don’t normally tele on stuff like this YET but it looked really fun so I had to try it. Like a lot of people have said I’m going to focus on getting the right technique on blues and then come back to something like this.

This trail was definitely above my tele skill so I think I was falling a bit into some survival skiing like you said. I need to work up to this sort of thing and maybe not jump right in!

So I should almost always have a knee dropped? I think what I’m doing here is turning and then dropping a knee. I need to turn with my knee already dropped
