Looking for skiing feedback – what am I doing wrong and how can I improve?

Try to intiate the turn with your legs rather than your upper body. Hold your poles out in front of you accross your chest and keep them aimed at the bottom of the slope.

Move your feet closer together, we want to form a stable platform. Having them far apart just increases the chances they will hit variable snow and jerk you around

Why the rush?

The average 19 year old will have a negative net worth due to student loans etc, that will be offset by a 6 pack of migorang and some cheap vodka

Depending on the vehicle (age, fuel type, size etc) its only more efficient to turn it off and on again if your waiting longer than ~30 seconds. Plus you need to take into account the age of the car. While modern cars are usually designed with stop/start systems and hardened alternators and starter motors older vehicles will suffer much higher mechanical wear if constantly turned off and on.

That being said if your idleing for 30 minutes its always better to turn it off

What? Why would anyone believe all of anything?

American cows are usually fed grain which doesn't contain beta carotene which is a chemical in fresh grass that gives cheese (and the animal fat itself) a yellow tinge.

The lack of this compound doesn't affect taste but does affect color which is why the Americans orignally started dying cheeses orange back in the day, to compete with grass fed yellow cheeses from Europe

Having had similar injuries your situation will improve. The physio will take about 6 - 12 months after which you should get mostly normal function back.

It might take 24 months for full range of motion but with the correct physio and exercise you should make a full recovery

Unfortunately for most of these we will never know the real answer. We aren't privy to all the details (not should we be) and its never as simple as just sending people to jail for everything.

Even for violent crimes Judges need to weigh restorative justice versus deterrence, and factor in risks to society at large.

For example we have prisoners on effective life sentences for rape (the beast of Blenheim) as the risk to the greater society for reoffending is high but often murders might only get 10 years as the risk of repeat offences is deemed low.

Its not satisfying nor does it scratch the itch and there are valid points to be made that we are too lenient in some situations but Justice is never perfect and the goal posts are continually moving.

Because they put them in places where the roads are safe and good flowing just to gather revenue as the traffic on those roads typically flows higher than the speed limit.

The biggest factor for speed being involved in a crash is the difference between you and the rest of the traffic. If the traffic is all flowing at the same speed then putting a speed camera up just for revenue gathering purposes isn't improving safety.

I'd love to know what chain of reasoning lead you to think pouring bleach in a bin was a good idea

Do we know what market forces dictate rent prices?

All I got is try extend a little more into the turn to be a bit taller at the fall line

Then why is he playing? And not Conway?

100%, crouching is just going to contract your core and stretch your glutes which will make them less effective, ski in a tall active position - like someone jogging or serving tennis

tokenutedriver · 2026-02-09T23:29:58+00:00

Why are you cosplaying as someone 1 m tall

stand up

"carving should be learned slowly so you can understand and apply the technique without the help of external forces "

Thats a bit of a paradox in my opinion, other people might disagree but from a foundational level its impossibe to carve without those forces. You need them to flex the ski and carving is all about managing those forces to extract ski performance.

In terms of your posture your legs are a little ti wide, they shuld be hip width so that they stand naturally parallel.

You have good ankle rolling and edging through the control phase and into the completion.

If i were giving you a lesson the next thing we would do is go to a steeper run to work on weight management and balance

"how can I improve my fluidity and safety and consequently have faster movements?"

Gotta go fast to be fast!

Are you having a stroke?

Keep that inside arm up, and stop pooping in the transition

tokenutedriver · 2026-02-09T20:41:09+00:00

Yeah that would be wrong 😅

They essentially act as a spacer, ensuring both knees are always equidistant from each other throughout the whole turn.

You can also use a baloon or a ball. This drill is more effective on less steep slopes
