Lyn, whatever works for ya'? is what's best. i don't do drills but I am aware of my skiing when doing so. There are times that I will exaggerate some movement or be extra conscious of something that I am not doing right. When skiing certain terrain, drills are only going to get you so far, your ability to read the mountain and survival skiing skills, including how to jump off and land off small features up to 5', how to ski over downed trees, rocks, slide- slipping slots, know how to put on skis in deep, steep powder, understand tree wells are critical and need to be at least "functional" for if nothing else, your own safety. If you are planning on getting serious about trees and sidecountry skiing, I can't emphasize the importance of these skills.?

It's NOT always about what YOU are skiing! ::)
Some of us have to be content with inbound, off piste skiing and groomers!.  :(
Geez, always hawking your latest trip >:D

As you would say, it's all good.  ;D
