Instructors, how do you teach your non-carving adult clients to carve? Assuming different things work with different people, what are some of the progressions or concepts or drills or break-downs that have worked well for you?
Skiers, what helped you "get it" when you first learned to make a cleanly carved turn, with tails following tips? Do you remember the most helpful demos/comments/directives you got from people helping you learn?
***Learning to do those first ever CLEAN CARVES is the intended topic here.
In order to keep this discussion from devolving into a "discussion" about what a carved turn is, or turning into a "discussion" of the relative value of short radius "carved" turns where the skis brush across the snow, I'd like to limit the discussion to arc-to-arc carved turns with tails following tips.
