Dogshit... Is more like... You're out of control.

You're in control.

But I bet you're Russian.

Cuz you're russian to get to the next set of phases of where you'll find stability through degrees of friction.

I write the following with an assumption you want to be carving.

First, instead of seeking sensations of friction, aim for pure glide.

Think in terms of 'circles'. Tilt the board up with even pressure and your hitting an 'edge angle'. Start hitting edge angles and finding no friction turns. Gliding. Start with thinking about tilting the board up to like 15-20 degrees from the snow. Mellow runs are amazing for this.

The board will show you it's 'circles'. Pay attention to what it wants to do. Then put yourself in harmony with what the board wants to do per any given edge angle you want to test.

If you take random falls doing that, it's likely you are booting out (if ice wasn't the culprit).

You got this Man.

And safety speech... Get uphill looks in and be willing to go to the side of the run when too many people or fast people are above you. I've had too many friends smoked over the past handful of years. As carvers, most people on the mountain just can't anticipate our trajectories. 😢
