Well that's one more on the list for Japan Ally :twisted:

Hi Mtrzcinska, it can be very difficult to explain why things may not be right without actually seeing someone, but in my case, the "screaming" thighs was due to me not allowing my weight to go forward properly. I was sort of "sitting" on the skis, as as we know while that position may be good for warm ups before we go on a holiday, it is not what you want when going down a piste.

Make sure that your balance is not towards your heels, it is one reason why we use the poles to "reach" for the start of a new turn. It helps us to push our weight forward.

Like OA says, it will come. One day, suddenly everything will click together and you will ask yourself why you had all the issues before. Enjoy your skiing.

I have posted this elsewhere, but with people asking for various directions around both Les Arcs and La Plagne, below is a link to a very detailed piste map for both areas. May be useful to see where is mentioned.

Edit. :shock: Dang, I just realised it only has the lift names, not the piste names. But you can get the general idea from it.

Good point BerettaRacer.

I use one of those neck snoods. Easy to keep in a pocket if it is too warm, very comfortable when just cool. But also very easy to pull up so it covers your mouth, ears and up under your helmet if it gets really cold and/or windy.

This sort of thing.
