I've been having a few problems with TFRs and a friend pointed out my turn entry is smooth but that I wash out my tails halfway through the turn and end up going at a right angle across the hill. This matches my feeling that the start is fine but then I get thigh burn halfway through the turn while trying to angulate. When doing OFRs and/or phantoms (doing the entire turn arc on one foot) the thigh pain goes away and the tails stop washing out. I'm not sure how to fix this - advice appreciated!
I've tracked down a video and took some screenshots (with my commentary ) The hill was rather icy that day and my skis are a tad wider so I remember slipping a bit, which might be part of the problem since I'm not angulating hard. It may be a different type of washout that happens when there is no ice, but it's there.
Generally I know I need to get further forward and also there's too much space between my skis. I've managed to improve some of that since then. But you will also notice I have no idea what to do with my arms!
going through one turn. this seems ok-ish, still needs fine tuning.
waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much space between skis lol
Here is the problem! In the last pic I was on edges, but now I have washed out my tails and am going across the hill. Also wrote that wrong - by 'twist' I mean CA.
Here's a turn. Need to pull the foot back and in. But at least there's some tipping happening!
here going into the turn...
washout in progress!
And somehow I have gone from skiing to looking like I'm about to tackle hug someone! what do I do with my arms?
Any thoughts would be super helpful! Thank you
