Mandy (D.C.), Rebecca (Fargo). How to rid the wedge, the one leg steer to a high edge angle then brace on the downhill ski edge is a good friend of orthopedists because enough of those and the knees need replacing. Tip the inside ski to flatten and match when it’s stuck in a wedge, how to balance on the feet, shin pressure, hips over feet, knees over toes, slow down the upper body (all that motion is pretty much of no value), learning to slide/skid/shape, use more of the bottom of ski, friction is a friend, high edge angle is not a friend, athletic stance, don’t be lazy with the arms and letting the upper body twist, uphill arcs, trusting the slide, little less pressure on the uphill ski (it’s not a trenching tool), relax, let the turns be a dance, rhythm. No picture, no phone.
