Ski Diva Extraordinaire
So I was skiing by myself today and my right ski would not get out of the way on my left-footed turns. This has been an ongoing issue for me. After a few runs I found myself picking up the back of my right ski to turn it. Since that's not a real efficient way to deal with the problem, I tried remembering what my instructor taught us on day 1. He said to imagine lightening up the inside ski like pedaling a bike. That helped but I could still feel my tail catching. I worked on this for a run and then tried to really take weight off my right leg but also to push my right knee out. BINGO! This felt good and I did not feel my tail catch the rest of the day.
So my question...since so much of skiing is counter-intuitive, do any of you Diva Instructors think there's something wrong with pushing/pulling out my right knee on my left-sided turns? It felt like the right move but I don't want to start a bad habit that I'll need to fix down the road.
