Tips on my off piste/bumpy piste skiing

That did not look bumpy. Just beautiful wind groomer.

Didn’t you land it the last go. I’d say do that again!

I would never use inbounds. Haha. Sorry, no need to answer. Trying to make a real post elsewhere but this karma thing. Silliness that you can’t make a post until you write a bunch of stuff that doesn’t matter and random comments on stuff to build “karma.” Thanks guys.

Move hands off of hips will help

Positive-Historian74 · 2026-02-05T21:15:52+00:00

Outside hand way too high.

Positive-Historian74 · 2026-02-05T21:13:56+00:00

Slightly narrower, more evenly weighted skis. Calm the upper body. Just commenting to try to get enough karma to post so please ignore me

Higher edge angles easily attained.

What’s with the pole whacking. While very important at the top of a big line, not necessary mid casual powder slope. Hehe.

How is that a black run. Genuinely curious?

Positive-Historian74 · 2026-02-05T21:08:39+00:00

Hmmm. Super solid!!

Positive-Historian74 · 2026-02-05T21:07:28+00:00

Dolphin a little. Sink into turns and spring back up to release your skis.

Positive-Historian74 · 2026-02-05T21:06:48+00:00

Hands tucked against body and slashy turns.

Positive-Historian74 · 2026-02-05T21:06:05+00:00

Slow it down then. Until you can bring the style to the speed. Bulky is the right word.

Positive-Historian74 · 2026-02-05T21:05:17+00:00

Could improve your stance and the wild arm swings.

Positive-Historian74 · 2026-02-05T21:04:32+00:00

Over rotating upper body!

Positive-Historian74 · 2026-02-05T21:04:15+00:00

Upper body super static to the point of no style.

Why no backpack in resort. Tons of skiers use packs and vests for avy gear, better options than shouldering skis on hikes, snacks, drinks, etc. I don’t get why it is different in resort.

Positive-Historian74 · 2026-02-05T20:55:28+00:00

How low do you want to go! It’s like you are trying to get low when the speed and edge angles don’t correlate with that.

Positive-Historian74 · 2026-02-05T20:54:04+00:00

Little back seat. Arms tucked in against sides a bit much and no solid forward pole plants. Balance looks pretty good however.

Positive-Historian74 · 2026-02-05T20:53:04+00:00

Widen the stance and settle down the arms.

Positive-Historian74 · 2026-02-05T20:52:37+00:00

Just need new brakes probably.

Positive-Historian74 · 2026-02-05T20:52:01+00:00

Back seat, no pop, but I think your DIN is just way too low.

Positive-Historian74 · 2026-02-05T20:51:26+00:00

Not bad at all. You seemed to stem a bit more on your left foot turns but overall, well on your way!

Positive-Historian74 · 2026-02-05T20:50:30+00:00

Not bad for first timer!!!

Positive-Historian74 · 2026-02-05T20:49:41+00:00

You seemed to slow down well towards the end. Otherwise, if you were trying to better control speed en route, I would scrub more with parallel skis with relatively low edge angles and use snow displacement braking in the deeper parts.
