The lunatic inside my brain drives me to improve technique. If I'm not thinking about how this is done, skiing gets reduced to turn left, turn right, repeat.

I dislike the term "drill" because it implies "work" and it never seems that I work when skiing.
It's always difficult to practice free skiing when skiing with others as PMTS is more about turning when most people, just go a lot straighter and faster. Harald's last secret is Never Stop Practicing, so, my thoughts are to find a skill improvement thought when skiing fast with others.

Two drills from the video come to mind as examples.

One is to keep pulling the free foot back to touch the stance leg boot. This is demonstrated in a powder run and is a basic from his second book. Gets the feet under the hips and provides a very centered stance.

The other is the "no swing pole plant" which when done properly provides really good counteracting.

But, for me, there is just a need to visit the green trails. Doing javalin turns teaches me my balance is too far aft.

Put these all together during the day, then, just let it go.. It's a entirely different feeling.....and so much fun.
