Now that the season is starting to close in, I'm finally feeling more comfortable back on the slopes (and on my new Idylls - yay!), and want to perfect my parallel turns a bit more when it gets steeper than a blue. I love the way you skiers look who have their bodies facing down the mountain, legs super close, and make it look effortless.
My 6 year old daughter is starting to almost kick my butt on the slopes, and after just learning parallel turns a few weeks ago informed me that my skis are still in a tiny wedge when I'm turning sometimes. I realize she is right and sometimes I'm even still doing a tiny stem-christie (so sad considering I've known how to ski for 27 years - even though I've had about 17 of them not skiing!).
I know what I'm supposed to be doing and how it feels when it's done right. But am not always consistent, especially when it is a narrow winding and crowded trail.
What is the trick to looking good and not like a novice on the slopes with keeping those legs together?
