Pery well said and congrats!? I totally agree with your approach. i did refine a few things over the past couple of weeks without focusing on them, just trying to be concious of them and working them in.
lower my poles by almost 3 inches!? My forearm is now less than parallell when in an attack position. I have found that measuring pole length when standing up is not really accurate and leads to the length being too long.?
I also did much better at keeping my shins pressed into the front of the boots, I was too neutral before which lead to a back seat tendency. Aslo, not starting turn to early from a start. I now either traverse a few feet or drop straight first; it has stopped a lateral body movement and permitted better forwardagonal positioning, this is universal regardless of what ever ski method you choose.
Pole, plants are much more active, not really used for support but used to create movement and flow. Still upper body but movement towards the new direction or turn (a slight difference)
Looking down 2-3 turns- this is a big one folks, if you don't do it , start. huge difference in flow and timing, that 1/2 second is huge in trees and bumps. You feel like you have all day to turn. You don't look at the door case when you walk through it- you don't need to look at the trees either! - Mtn biking was huge to learn this
Keeping legs stacked and under hips- huge, .
