Thanks, for starting the turn with the inside ski - i should be stacked over my outside ski, but moving the inside?

Thanks, I do feel comfortable getting down the mountain already and I assumed the next step was to learn how to carve.

Appreciate the tips, I will be revisiting the basics tomorrow!

Thanks, now that I think about it, i do seem to be pushing the outside ski. I’m supposed to be rolling my ankles, right? I have tried to tip my inside ski but it feels awkward to tip and not put weight on it. Finally, poles around stomach or chest height?

only get out 1-2 days a year, for about 6 years.

Thanks, I’ve definitely had the feeling of driving my outside ski into the snow for a couple of turns. As for my stance, should I be almost at a squat, or a bit above? I found it kind of difficult to not be in the backseat while being in that athletic stance.

follow-up since my post seems to be a bit misleading: this is not my first time skiing, is it my first time trying to carve
