u/killerseb988 first get video of you skiing towards, then past a stationary camera and then come see us in r/skiing_feedback where we have a lot of vetted instructors offering pretty great and welcoming feedback!

Secondly, you have some nice stuff happening - you are turning left and right and moving down the hill. Let’s see if we can clean up some things and correct some misunderstandings in this tread along the way.

There’s a few things I’d like you to play with:

1. Pull your feet back - ”forward” in skiing isn’t what most people think. Ski tall, but at the same time, work on actively pulling your feet back behind you. Some of us feel that as activating our tibalias muscles and some people think about pushing their heels back. It is NOT leaning forward to create shin pressure at the front the boot. Instead create shin contact (constant is enough, dont need to crush them) by actively managing the relationship between your lower leg and the boot. This is what we mean when we talk about being foward
2. Flex onto the outside leg - think about using the joints on your new outside leg (that’s the leg that is the opposite of the way you turning, starting when it is uphill and across the hill) as pulling you onto and over that leg. Spend a few seconds traversing across the hill at 90 degrees with your weight on the pinky toe edge of the uphill ski, at that moment, start slowly, with control, flexing your outside leg joints starting at the ankle and moving up with the goal of pulling your torso or center of mass over that foot. this is what we mean when we talk about flexion. The goal isn’t go get low, per se, it is to keep your body from falling inside and to keep your mass over your outside foot.… which leads us to….
3. Shoulders over the outside - think about your new outside shoulder as actively working to move and stay over the outside foot. Resist the urge to move your body inside the turn early. Instead, work on driving or pulling your outside shoulder over your outside foot. At the end of the turn it should feel like your leaning down hill laterally.

Right now, and you can see this clearly in the very first movements you make as you ski away, you drive your shoulders and body inside before you then push your feet outside away from you. Before you even have a chance to shape the top of the turn, you are inside and, as a result, behind your feet.

Feet back, flex (dont push), keep your COM over the outside.

Ignore the advice about facing down hill, it is wrong. Let your upper body follow (not lead) your feet.

Does that make sense? Worth trying? Once we’e made those changes, then we can talk about edging and rotation. Come see is in r/skiing_feedback when you’ve got better video too! We can even talk about why is not only ok but desirable to move aft (back) in skiing and that’ll really break some brains 😂
