I'll start with the bad news...
My father came to visit and ski with us for the first time since I picked up the sport last season. He saw me and said I am doing a good job but still in the back seat, rotating my body with the skis, feet too far apart, etc. etc. OMG! I thought I was getting better at all those things . I know I am far from perfect, but after all the lessons I should be doing better, no? I feel better and more confident compared to where I started. Super frustrated with myself and sort of annoyed at my dad for the brutal honesty. I especially don't get the whole feet too far apart comment. I ask all my instructors about it all the time, and they say my feet are where they should be, and the feet close together is an old school straight ski thing.
Now for the good news...
I skied blacks for the first time this weekend! And they didn't even seem too bad. If there were no icy patches, it would have been even easier. I realized I am fine with the pitch, just not with the ice. I feel proud of myself for taking this step, which was hard for me psychologically. Now I just need to work on "looking" better doing it, haha
