Hi divas, hope all the northern New Englanders and westerners have been getting after it!
Now that places around me are opening up, I’m wondering what tips and advice you all might have for progressing from smearing turns to truly getting up on edge and learning to carve.
I’m always wary of picking up too much speed, so I end up doing a lot of short, sharp smearing turns on any appreciable pitch. I definitely think that fear of speed is a significant barrier for me, but what should I be thinking about in terms of body positioning? Pressure on my feet? I get down green runs really comfortably and fairly quickly now...should I be trying to drill with speed on the greens?
Going to take lessons in January, but I want to start thinking about it ASAP. Thanks in advance for your advice - I’m all ears!
