J2Ski Forum Posts and Replies by Probe

Been meaning to post and say ta for advice given. After a couple more days of frustration I once again hired an instructor. A very attractive Italian lady in her 30s and although she identified my problem I had a different one, that of concentration :)

Actually she told me that when I was turning right I was slightly leaning off on my right boot.

Late Friday I skied down a 3km blue run and it was sooo easier then before.

Desperately looking for a way of going skiing for a long weekend someplace.

Any suggestion? Please.

No the ski just continues and so I end up with crossed skis, have to force the ski to turn or take some weight off the ski so it turns, but doing this I sometimes loose balance and fall.

Had a instructor today who thinks that my left turn is perfect on my right turn I do not lean into the mountain enough once I made the turn. but as I pointed out the problem starts when I ask the skis to change direction

I will try hiring some different skis tomorrow.

I will try the boot fitter too

I have a problem when doing a right parallel turn, the left turn is easy no problem, when doing the right turn the left ski turns fine but the right ski refuses to follow.
