Certified Ski Diva
Problem: I cannot get my new skis to edge.
Equipment: Nordica Santa Ana 93, 158cm
Level: Advanced
Location: West of the Rockies (Mammoth, SLC, Snowbowl, Tahoe)
Bought these in December and have used them around 10 times. First two days they ran out from under me throwing me in the back seat. Really worked on my forward positioning and still unable to set an edge; focusing on initiating the turn sooner but cannot get the them to lock in. Soft snow is better but I cannot seem to stay centered and drive the ski where I want them to go.
(Previous skis were Nordica Olympia Conqueror at 84 wide and 153cm)
I've been open minded about my technique, took a lesson (helped a little) and wondering what can I do to stop the frustration (I want to have fun skiing and not feel like it's a labor to make my sticks turn).
I know there has been discussion on these skis but did not see anything pertaining to my dilemma. If I cannot get them under control by the end of this season, they're hitting the ski swap!
Any suggestions Divas?
