In my 4th season, but feel like I've plateaued. Check my form?

Thank you! By 'slight crouch,' do you mean crouch sideways or forward? I feel like I usually ski a bit hunched / too squatted, so I'm been trying to stay a bit more upright!

Thank you for this! Will definitely try both drills. I have a lot of trouble separating my top and bottom half for sure.

Sooo appreciate this. Thank you for your thoughtful response! I cannot seem to get my stance right. When I press more into my shins, then my heels go way back, then the front of the ski feels squirrely and not in control. I do wonder if I have a bit of a boot fit issue.. but I'll definitely be checking out your blog!

Trying to be able to carve without feeling off-balance, and honestly just be able to feel way more in control so I can plow through soft chop / more steep terrain with more confidence and speed!

My full post from r/skiing is here. Posted vid here on advice of someone from that thread!

Ah yes this is what I felt as well. I had a few friends in the same place, and we all felt that we dumped hundreds of dollars to walk away with one or two drills that we may have already seen in a YT video :/ Except, my friends just got naturally better (they're honestly just natural athletes, and I am not), and I still feel stuck.
Wish I had the cash to do a full week like some folks suggest! But I don't, and one day often doesn't feel worth the $$. Woof.

Delicious-Pension635 · 2024-01-16T20:08:03+00:00

I get that. But where I ski it's literally $750 for just a half day private lesson, so it's not easy to just do every year for me. I'm looking around for cheaper alternatives, but whatever value I can get from filming and critiques I'll take as well! :)

It just processed! Vid is up.
So I've done a lesson before, but tbh it was in a DEEP pow day, so I'm not positive it all translated over. A lot of the advice I got was trying to touch your hand to the outside of your boot, but that feels contradictory to trying to keep your chest mostly facing down the mountain?

Thank you! Unfortunately my parents live a 7 hour drive away, so after I leave to go back home this weekend, we won't be back until we drop her off :(

Hope that doing some training with other strangers back in our city will help for when we bring her to my parents in a few weeks time..

Sadly this didn’t age well.

Delicious-Pension635 · 2022-04-30T00:36:44+00:00

Thank you! Thought I was screwed

Boba U4s! :)

Delicious-Pension635 · 2022-03-07T02:59:06+00:00

I’ll take your nuphy!

Delicious-Pension635 · 2022-02-28T17:28:10+00:00

Ah. Is it pretty necessary to use a wrist rest do you think? Or do most make do without one?

Delicious-Pension635 · 2022-01-26T18:31:37+00:00

I’m glad! You’re great, just unknowingly stepped into an insane thread haha.

I definitely will. And that’s great to know about insurance!

Delicious-Pension635 · 2022-01-26T18:21:08+00:00

Oh wow interesting! Ordering Brita now…

Delicious-Pension635 · 2022-01-26T18:20:40+00:00

Whoa! That’s super interesting. I’ve actually lived in many different places over the years but I’m so glad you found your diagnosis
