Alana (Breckenridge, Chicago sometimes). Good job with the arms, balance starting to settle down, feel the edge change with the feet – then start to pressure the new outside ski, CM crosses over with slight hip rotation to outside of the new turn, old long leg flexes, old short leg begins to extend which crosses the CM over the skis and facilitates the clean edge change, semi circular turns (nothing to quick with rotation at top of turn), skidding with more down the mountain speed, don’t panic when it gets a little steeper (shaping and friction will keep the speed under control), simultaneous rotating the feet to shape (almost like a pivot – actually, it is a pivot). A clean round shaped turn is even better than a hand full of chocolate covered almonds (both are addictive).
