EDIT: I revisited the pmts site and was in error about the two footed release drill.
 
The drill I was referring to came from another source. Essentially demonstrating drill linking carved turns at slow speeds with a railroad/pencil track effect. Although I believe the drill(s) on the pmts site are headed in the same direction philosophically.
 
Thank you midwif...indeed i am trying to wrap my head around that drill. Realizing that both skis must come to neutral or flat for a brief instant before the transfer to the second arc...perhaps it's the transition that I am not getting.
 
I found myself gritting my teeth in an effort to concentrate on being patient...enough to keep BOTH skis on the snow during that transition...rather than skidding tails or driving the inside edge of the outside ski and (essentially) carrying or gliding the tip of the inside ski...marry up...flatten....and then a repeat of that process. Old habbits die hard...Knee's arent an issue yet (knocking on my head) as much on wanting to develop clean and effective carve technique.
 
I will revisit the pmts site and of course.....welcome input from others.
