You know, I need to get under the eagle eye of a hi level instructor. As my season winds down I feel as though I've gone backwards a bit in my technical skills this year. I actually do regret not doing drills more (or at all). I never felt as sure-footed this season as I did last season and I know I could use some real coaching to step it up.
I think it's great that Jim and Lynn invest time and money each season to get out and ski with one of the best in the business.
Your pictures look pretty good, I'm not really good enough at MA (or skiing) to really make much from a few still photos. But I can see the bases of your skis in each picture...and I know that is a very good thing!
Looks to me like you're both pretty good skiers.
I got no video or pictures at all this season...which like drills I regret...but here's a video of my skiing (very short) in late march of last season. It's fairly indicative of how I ski, I've seen other videos of myself in crud, powder, it looks similar (in fact my stance makes more sense and works better in powder/ moguls..I make Stein look bow legged!)
If anyone is interested (hi level coach or not) I'd invite comments, and criticisms.
I'm looking to purchase a real race GS ski for next season and start to learn how to really lay them over, balance with deeply flexed inside leg, control the energy when I flex the stance leg and transition to a new turn....this season convinced me I have a lot more hard snow work to do. Yep, I've finally become convinced (better late than never) that 'hip on the snow' carving is a very worthy goal...and one I'm pretty far from.
