Glenn, Those drills are ones which we used learning PMTS skills as well.

This also included a variation of picking up the downhill ski using the uphill ski, uphill edge to drift as described above or in Harolds book.....a banana turn using the uphill edges of the skis to traverse the mountain.

I think for me what has come out of all my training is to feel the edges of your skis...use your feet and their fine motor skills to get the most out of the boards.

Man....I'm getting pumped each day now with cooler weather coming in all this talk about skiing and the days winding down to RS3.

this is so true, to me, if you don't have that feel, its much harder to apply the information. If you can train now and focus on balance, core and flexibility, you will be amazed how much your skiing will be improved. One thing that both gary and Phil have in skiing is fluency, this is when your body and mind are in auto drive mode, there is no thinking, it's like walking. that's where I want to be.
