Hey NS's

I've noticed review some video of me skiing down at Perisher in September that I ski with my legs fucking close together and it looks aids. Is there anything (other than either "buying full tilts") I should be thinking about to remedy this shit. I've been trying to think about it when I was and I should be back on snow in early December so what should I think about. I'm also doing my CSIA Level One ski instructor course so probs should moderately good form for that. Thanks

baitget lower AND CLOSER TO THE SNOW

get real close with the snow. take the snow out on a date. get to know the snow. once you're close enough with the snow that it tells you all of it's secrets, then you will ski better.

feet shoulder width apart, use the skis independently instead of together, make sure your using 2 edges instead of 1, watch some racers ski, etc.

yea I have super close stance too but but If im skiing something legit I usually just naturally get a wider stance for that stability and control

I'd use a wide stance going into and landing rails and jumps, but you should want tour skis to be about the width of your fist apart.

I usually go with legs pretty close together honestly. But all the freeskiers have a wider stance to be in a better landing position

if you wear baggier pants your legs will look further apart even though they are not
