Why can't I turn left?!

skiNH09 wrote:I've been skiing for about 5 years, a handful of times each year. I've never had any formal instruction, just kind of picked up what I could from friends. I'd say right now I'm at an intermediate level, but I'm having a frustrating time with making left turns. For whatever reason I can't seem to "force" my left ski to turn left on the snow...I literally have to lift my boot up off the ground and re-plant the ski to get it parallel with my right ski. I have no problems with either ski when turning right.

I feel like this is hampering my progress because I have so little confidence in my left turns as compared to my right ones. I tried to get some advice from my expert skier friends, they watched me carve a few turns but couldn't offer up much more than saying "huh, that's strange, you shouldn't be lifting your leg like that".

Any advice?


Do you pole plant to initiate the turn ?, is your downhill ski weighted ?, a left hand pole plant will transfer your weight to the right ski which in turn will turn you left, your weight should then be on the downhill ski awaiting you next pole plant and turn.

Glad the celebrations went well, and you liked the avatar photo.

I've been busy outside all day, getting the place ready for holidaymakers. We've just had some, and from next Saturday we've got them practically right through to September.
