Hello everyone,
i am new to this forum, so i'd like to introduce myself first. I am from germany and 36 years old. I started skiing last year and recently finished my third week of skiing. I am traveling with a group of students from the berlin humboldt university (organized ski-trips), where we also have skiing class. We are taught traditional skiing (e.g. wide stance etc.). After the second week of skiing i realized, that i would not become a better skier using the technics they taught me. At this time i already knew about pmts but didn't buy any books.
So i decided to give pmts a try. Unfortunately i became sick and only could ski in the morning, so i had not very much time to do any pmts drills (we had normal ski lessons in the morning). I tried to apply the pmts movements in the normal lessons. In three weeks i am going on my next ski-holiday and there i will take more time to do some drills. But in the meantime i would appreciate any feedback about my actual skiing and if its basically going into the right direction.
In my opionion i have a completely lack of pole swing, sometimes i loose my counteracting. More tipping and expecially more flexing could be also helpful. I try to release through flexing, but sometimes i notice some little up/down movements.
Any suggestions are welcome. I am happy to be here
