Elizabeth (NYC, not same Elizabeth as morning lesson), Ana (Denver, same Ana as morning lesson), Elle (NYC). Once again the focus of how to shape a turn where you want it and not build up speed (skier is in control, not the edge – if that makes any sense), being comfortable while balancing on a sliding ski, uphill arcs, ok to come in and out of the fall line more slowly, leg steering with femurs, friction (this word seems to appear in almost every post, humm, wonder why), controlling a flatter ski, simultaneous steering both skis, hands on knees exercise, lower is good right now, hip rotation to face outside of turn (that would be downhill at bottom of turn), wider and more forward arms, enjoy the ride – be a ‘go’ skier, not a ‘stop’ skier.
