Good work with the legs. To improve more, try aggressively placing a pole in the ground as you turn. It helps you turn better + you will find it easier to get a rhytm going :)

Cheers and have a pleasant day.

@Nazrahnas Thanks for the tip, but my placing the pole in the ground more aggressively won't do me any good, pole is used only to mark the beginning of the next turn (and improve rhytm as you said) and the moment when to lift you hips and transfer you weight into the next turn.

Seven year later, the technique hasn't changed much tho :))

@h2owakesurfer Thanks for the tips, I'll look into it as soon as I get on the mountain again :) Check out my new video if you want, it's in the video info!

Cheers!

@stuartfinch95 and like he said the pole marks the start of the next turn but you were turning way late to the point you marked.

There needs to be more drive through the outside ski, instead of relying on your hips and knees.
