Too many photos to import. I will make some direct one on one comparisons as we go. There is definitely something off with the PSIA Team. Is it technique or alignment or both.

Austria Presents ‘Carving for Kids’ Lesson
It is no surprise Austria’s first on-snow workshop was about carving. Or that it focused on ways to get kids arcing turns in the same fashion as their World Cup idols. Their 1-2-3 progression to helping kids experience the sensation of a well-carved turn was familiar to PSIA-AASI Alpine Team members Dave Lyon and Jeb Boyd, but its succinct effectiveness still impressed them. Here are Austria’s three quick tips for helping kids start carving on your mountain. (Start on a low angled slope and discuss each sensation, and practice with a fellow snow pro beforehand.)
1. Have students put their poles behind their knees, grip them from the front of their knees, and as they ski, slowly turn across the fall-line.
2. Leaving their poles behind, have students cross their hands across their knees (left hand on right knee and vice-versa), and perform the same action.
3. Hold poles across the front of the knees and perform the same action—using hands to steer the knees into each turn.
The sensation from each task is immediate, and offers a strong first sensation of the act of carving.
