One-sided skiing
Started by User in Ski Technique, 4 Replies
I have spent about 9 weeks skiing over the years and have come to the end of my tether.
I can ski parallel fine one way, but the other I still have to make snowplough turns until I am along the straight, and it is frustrating the hell out of me!
Don't get me wrong, I can whizz down medium reds and get to the bottom in one piece, and I can go a whole week without falling, but I just have this real problem which I want to get sorted. I've tried private lessons but unless I spend a whole week with one instructor, I don't think I'm ever going to conquer this, and think I may have to give up skiing or change to boarding, which I've tried a couple of times.
If anyone else has had this problem, I would greatly appreciate any feedback. many thanks!
