I have a new appreciation of skiing movements since I read and watched Harald Harb?s books and videos. Now the skiers I used to think were good don?t look so good. I watch ski instructors, (they wear uniforms so they?re easy to spot) and they now seem to fall into the intermediate movement ability level. (Guess Harald?s skier ratings are true)
My question is, why do ski instructors constantly talk about widening someone?s stance and twisting or steering the skis, when most of the skiers on the slopes are over doing those movements? Do they not get it? Those over steering and skidding results have to be coming from lessons skiers take.
I read on Epic constantly that steering is the most important movement. Do they mean for beginners? I don?t want to be a beginner for the rest of my life. I tried the Phantom Move without any steering and it worked great. I must be doing it wrong because when I try to steer I always had a wedge beginning and sloppy finish to my turns. Is there a difference between the knowledge of the experts here compared to the other forum? I get very confused when I try to use their advice.
