Connie (Philadelphia). Circular turn shape, getting rid of the wedge at initiation (no easy task, lots of muscle memory to reprogram), side slips, uphill arc with leg steering, friction is a friend (less edge & more bottom of ski), where to pressure the foot and simultaneous shins into front of boot (need both to be in balance), hip alignment with feet, both ends of the spectrum (pivot turns and high speed arcs), tipping both skis to new edges at initiation THEN begin to shape/steer/skid, video, don’t need whole slope to go back and forth – narrow corridor works fine IF more pivoty type turns with strong hockey slide type shaping.
