Hi Johnny

Welcome aboard.

And agree with not wanting to spend enormous amounts of one's "snow time" doing drills.
I don't have either the drive or desire to use my ski time that way. But I will put aside the first two runs to both warm up
and do a couple of different drills at the top of the run, to get into my feet.

After doing a few exercises at the top of the run, I gradually segue into the rest of the run.
The 2nd run I will do some exercises at the top of the run to try and focus on counteracting/counterbalance/hands.

Through the course of the day,  I often will choose one aspect of my skiing to focus on in that run.
Skiing will never be "mindless" for me. Swimming wasn't either.

And occasionally, that focus becomes part of the whole, calm and serene and without effort.

Runners often describe it as a "runners high".
