Switch pivot slips, but I haven't worked on them much at all. Pretty confident I can get them sorted with some more effort.
Whoa. *mind blown*

I've yet to attempt the backside pivot slips but must soon start to work on them if I'm going to attempt L3 next season. I do wonder what the point is of some of the RM L3 manuevers such as backside pivot slips and switch railroad tracks. We have a freestyle specialty -- what's the point of requiring L3 candidates to do these stupid ski tricks? I don't see its relevance to alpine skiing...
Proof of a very high level of balance, pressure, and edge control?
These are not drills I'll ever torture my clients with.
I often think of that too. When was the last time you ever thought "hmm, what this guy really needs right now is some hop turns" ? White Pass I think does have real world applications though. I'll bet you can learn them.
Hop turns - breakable crust and other conditions where skiing in the snow makes the turn harder. Do you have a better solution for those conditions than hop turns?
Here's a should-be-easy drill that more than "vexes" me, one ski side-slips, on little toe edge, right foot.
My body won't do them on the right foot.
--on the left foot - fine and dandy; it works
--on the right foot - pretzel body gumped up; nothing works.

Stems?

Today is a powder day; thinking I may just skip the torture drills.....
I'm reading here while putting off digging myself out with a shovel. The snow is deep out there and the plow guy has not come.
