Harald and others,
great feedback, thanks!
Harald, in general, I always have to work on "remembering" (focusing on) to tilt the uphill ski; if I don't pay attention, it tends to go flat, or at least, have less edge angle than the downhill one. It also tends to carry too much weight.
Generally, I also focus a lot on counter rotation - reason being getting rid of my tendency to rotate with the turn, and getting enough edge angle.
On more gentle slopes, these problems tend to go away, but on steeper slopes, in short turns, I sometimes notice the tendency to "stem".
With respect to Harald's comment on Weighted release, Von Grunigen's and super phantom: I've spent some time thinking about releasing in general, with particularly Blueys recent post giving new insights, and the past few days experimenting with it, so I will start a new thread on this particular topic.
Harald, I'm (as well as is Minna!) counting the days until Hintertux to get under your/Rich's/Diana's critical eyes! 58 days to go....!
Cheers,
Tommy
