Hi guys, I have been an avid follower of the PMTS system and have skiied a few times a year for about 3-4 years followed by an injury which made me stop. However one of my friends has dragged me out again this season and the desire to improve has finally infected me. Never taking lessons my skiing was very sloppy I decided to pick up some skiis of my own (Volki VWERKS RTM 176 CM) and Some Salomon XPro100 Custom Shell boots. After dropping serious cash on the skiis and boots I just wanted to ski more and more and then ended up stumbling onto Haralds videos on youtube. Quickly realizing this guy looked different from a lot of the information online I decided to try some of his stuff. I have picked up The essentials evideos first followed on How to Be an Expert Skier 1 and 2. and then the Free skiing Video. Starting to slowly apply some of the principals starting with tipping I started lurking this forum and saw this subforum.
I would love for you guys to tell me where I need to improve and which exercises I should focus on most, I have been doing phantom turns and tried the TFR a few runs, Also I really wanted to learn how to do short turns and I was wondering if it is detrimental for me to try to learn with 18 meter radius Skis.
