Dennis (Cape Cod), Christine (Chicago), Maya (Breckenridge), Ben (Pittsburg). Working with the inside 1/2 of the body, inside leg retraction to increase stability and edge angle, CM crossover to created edge change, hip rotation to align with feet for strength, pressure the inside edge of the new outside ski, new inside ski is the thinker (let it lead the way and start the turn), pole touch for timing and signals the hips to cross over the feet, skidding and sliding and shaping, use friction and turning uphill for speed control, get lower, more even pressure on skis in the powder, pivot turns, too much pressure on the outside ski in the off piste stuff can lead to some interesting results, balance in the moguls, turn on the tops, keep the head at even level, more pivoty in the bumps, skid to adjust line, no need to turn on every mogul – pick the one you like.
