My Mantra:
Shins on boot tongues
Knees over toes
Edge - to flat - to edge
Chin over the turning ski
Pressure downhill
Turning ski, turning arm
Elbows in front of the body
Shoulders back
The letter “C” is your friend

One way to help get on the edge of the turning ski (the new downhill ski) is to remove weight from the free ski at the same time forward pressure is applied to the new turning ski… or just pretend you’re a stork… riding a horse…
