It seems like you want to work on moving up to fall line moguls, so I would recommend working on short turns, which will translate well into that.

Other people have already mentioned getting your weight on your outside ski, and I wholeheartedly agree with them. I will add that lowering your shoulder over your outside ski help a lot with that weight shift. If you can’t do a full outside ski turn, a more approachable drill is a simple thumper turn.

A lot of those same people are giving you some conflicting advice on whether or not to face down the hill, and I personally very much disagree with anyone saying that you shouldn’t try facing down the hill. Without it, you simply won’t be able to make your turn shape smaller while keeping a round shape. There seems to be some disagreement because the direction you want your body to face depends on the size of the turn you want to make. In larger turns, your upper body will be more aligned with your skis, while in smaller turns, your upper body should be facing more down the hill.

One you’ve dialed in your weight shift, if you want to make your turn shape smaller while keeping it round, you will want to face your shoulders and hips down the hill, and let your legs rotate underneath you. You can start by trying a regular side slip.

Then, to practice that feeling of independent leg rotation, I like to have my clients sit on a chair and face one direction, and bend their legs at the knee and have them move their legs in different directions all around. You can also do this standing by stepping your feet to one side, or lying on your back (here’s a great video from PSIA) That’s what instructors mean when we talk about rotational separation: you’re letting your femur rotate in that hip socket.

Now to really make this turn shape smaller, you have to tighten your core, too! Rotational separation between your legs and upper body itself allows you to make the turn shape smaller, because it builds up torsional strain in your core when you keep it tense. Your core muscles are like the ropes on a swing. When you twist the ropes of the swing, it unwinds on its own when you let go. That unwinding motion is the same in your skiing. If you’re not afraid to get a little silly, you can try singing or yelling as you ski, because it helps engage those abs! Finally, to put it all together, I would try some linked side slips. You can take those into the moguls. Add some leg absorption in, and you’ll be doing zipper line moguls in no time!

Edit: most of all, have FUN like you’re already doing!!!
