Bush,

any videos of the Silly Christies?  I am not quite visualizing that drill.

My ski guru is a fantastic foot steerer, and has this really neat 'slither' turn he uses to thread the tightest and nastiest spaces, he tells me it's all about hip separation and subtle foot steering.  1000 steps is the drill he calls the master drill for gaining a real feel for what it takes to get that level of hip independence.  Frankly, I have always struggled in executing that drill well (and consequently, lack the slithering hip separation he has).

Congrats on becoming a regional PSIA big wig!  That's a challenging accomplishment in the world ski pedagogy!
