Have had a few 1/2 days ski lessons over last few weeks and have found them super useful. Separation and angulation are still work in progress but there has been some improvement. Still struggling to bring feet back under quick enough at times, which results in tips losing contact with snow and annoying habit of letting tail of one ski drift in at times.

Other area of focus has been on tactics. Mainly trying to ski a bit faster, if anyone wants a leisurely ski partner then I am probably you perfect companion. Still is definitely not good to be skiing within yourself all the time. Here are a few clips.

Lesson one, first day of the season soft small moguls. Terrible ski contact and some collapsing.


Nice grippy snow in Le Tour. My default setting for same slope was 14 turns, so just trying to open the arc and focus on keeping hands level. Some improvement.

Today, day 6 of season, lesson 3. Brilliant morning of skiing powder, I guess you can't really complain when you create your own chopped up mess. Not a very tidy run, as a bit too aggressive on what was a pretty steep start to the run.

Plenty of drills to work at over next few weeks.
