yeah, sounds good. I am not so good when typing this stuff up but I think you are getting the drift. Yes, if you plant and push forward, then you are skiing through it vs. plant, and then ski around, it's hard to keep forward on the fron to fthe boots when your hand is now stuck behind you. We really did some simple but very effective drills on piste and then off-piste to get forward, worked like a charm in about 1/2hour.  It's a mental thing for sure and I had to make some technique changes and get past some old muscle memory issues but once it clicked, things were so much better, stacked and smooth. My speed, stability and balance jumped big-time. We were rippin one early AM on very crusty windblown frozen stuff that I would have been so tentative on beofre. Keeping forward and stacked made it so much easier.
