5h of skiing today and i didnโ€™t die. nothing broken despite some gnarly wipe outs. i can semi-confidently parallel ski now but need to work on technique and not panicking when gaining lots of speed ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ

Always fall back to your most comfortable edge side. Do it dramatically when youโ€™re going slow to practice and then even when youโ€™re super good you will always fall back that at high speeds. Itโ€™s more about flowing from edge to edge than going straight down the hill. You then learn to use speed to make catching edges easier.

Makes sense! Ya just practice more. and then as you get more comfortable the faster you go it actually makes it easier to catch that edge = your inertia cuts the edge. Hell ya!

thatโ€™s probably it. i was slowing down too much instead and it was harder to catch that edge with my weaker leg. great tip, ty!
