I'm working REALLY hard this season to elevate myself out of the "terminal intermediate" status I have held for a long time now. To be fair, last season was the first one where I got to ski more than 15 days EVER. Now that I have a mountain outside my back door, I can really work on things several times per week.
That being said, I took a lesson a couple weeks ago and had a huge "AHA" moment that got me feeling the "infinity move" and was working on that yesterday and wow! I was picking up speed with every run, and having an absolute blast.
I had my husband video me on one section and DAMMIT! That stem is still in there. It's much better than two weeks ago, but there it is. I can't take another lesson until after the holidays, unfortunately. I'd share the video, but I can't get it from his phone to the computer for some reason. (OK, and I'm not sure I WANT to share it because it's kind of embarrassing .) I might be able to share pieces of the video the instructor took two weeks ago because it pops up on it, too. (The improvement from the start of the lesson to the end was remarkable.)
Anyway, I'd love suggestions for a simple drill or two that I can play around with that might help me get rid of this very old, very bad habit.
