"Here is a picture of what it should look like.
The next exercise is the double pole plant. Try to start practicing from a static position, after that in traverse. Keep in mind rhythm and timing. Practice moving your poles with the wristbefore starting to ski. Point the ski tips down the slope and hands forward toward your ski tips. Now you are ready to make your turns. Make medium radius turns first. Tap both of your pole tips before every turn. Reach forward so the touch is well ahead ofyour boots, up by the ski tips. Lift the pole tip quickly and prepare for the next turn. Remember - you have to use your wrists, not your arms, to create the movements.
Plant the pole... then push the arm.Use wrist action on one pole to move the pole tip into position on the same side you wish to turn on. The arm that is not moving should be kept in a stance position, at ease, but ready. You have to always be ready for the next pole swing and touch. Remember: do not drop your inside hand. That will allow better pointing action which, in turn, will improve your edge grip, carving control, and upper body stability.
That is what it's supposed to look like
Tip - imagine that you are driving a stick-shift car, shifting from second gear to the third.
Keep all this in mind and you will be the best on the hill. Have fun and good luck." :lol: :lol: :lol:

You should move your skis further apart.

Take your inside ski and this thread and go use it to donkey punch your epicski mates in the Vail boys toilets.

I lift up my outside ski when turning...of course, some people hate ski ballet.

How many people have actually tried this? Kind of fun sometimes, because it's so damned hard. Really helps with balance and control of inside ski plus helps you get a feel for better weight distribution in deep snow.

Those mogul videos are painful to watch. Can't believe I used to like doing that shit.

I lift my inside and outside ski, alternately cross my tips and tails, uncross, cross again, and call my mom, all at the same time.

Who wants to touch me?
