Had a good day of skiing and great conditions. But looking for a few tips to help me. I am still learning the new technigue that for many here is not new! However given I stopped skiing mid 90's and just started up late last year, I am still learning. So bear with me.
I have two questions:
The first one is for me. I notice when skiing the easier trails I can go down the fall line, turn and carve enough to feel in form.
Once on get on steeper trails and try the same technigue it tends to feel zig zaggy to control speed and notice I do what I use to do years ago, drag my upper pole to control speed. So know I do not have enough of a carve, but not sure how you do a more dramatic carve so you really see the bottom. I do not like feeling like I am going fast or not feel in control.
Any easy to explain exercises to practice or tips would be greatly appreciated. Videos are also welcomed to help here.
We all must start some where, thanks for your help.
