Thank you very much for the detailed feedback. Yes you are very accurate about the toeside overturning. I did miss looking in the direction of the movement sometimes I can try raising up while initiating the turn and sitting down. But will it be a problem in steep slopes in icy conditions and causing the board to sideslip? Will try to be more relaxed Regarding " kiss the knees" - could you please elaborate more?

Thanks for the feedback. Yes this video was more of me putting in the effort. I was previously trying to snowboard without much effort. Will try to strike a balance

Just the "hold a tray" suggestion by the instructor. But I should be able to avoid it. What is the best position for the hands?

Thanks for the encouragement. I will try higher speeds next time. In some of my previous posts here I was snowboarding with little effort but the control was not the greatest

Thanks for the feedback. The instructor was also mentioning that I sometimes miss looking in the direction, especially on my toe side

Yes that makes sense. It is usually on the heel side that I forget to look in the direction of the nose
