Ron's spot on with the pole plant...but if I may add...

The use of the EP..Epiphany Pad is very effective for Speed management and turn shape. Perry, so glad to hear you are applying these ski skills in such conditions.

Even on the iciest, hardest crappiest snow, you can use that uphill edge to feather your turn shape and speed and still look like you're carving turns in good form.

I've truly gotten to the point where I seldom if at all think about the big toe edge in any turn. That edge is so ingrained to how I ski, it's automatic. The effective use of the uphill edge is the tool that will move all to a place where skiing any all mountain conditions help you become more balanced, more flowing and just downright fun cause the skier remains in control.

Baby toe edge is the engine where the key is....aggressive pole plants.

SO keep those pole plants moving and the feet will follow,

Best,
Gary
