Good skiing! I was at the exact same level as you at this time last year, and was having the same problems. I focused on two things: 1) getting a wide gate so that I could make a nice, easy turn in to the gates. I would still have plenty of speed and width, so I could start my preturn earlier and finish my turn with a leveraged position 2) keeping my head up in my turns, especially on 2-4 (LFF like you). This allows me to exit the turn in a nice leveraged position. Keep it up! You're right on the brink of -28 at 36!

would this ski be good for a skier like me, who is used to a stable, "user friendly" ski like an X7? I am running 22 at 36 pretty consistently, and I have run 28 at 36 once. I am getting more comfortable at 28, and I feel like I am on the brink of running it on a regular basis

Grider Hill has two. There is a no wake sign right before you get to them to ward off jet skiers and boaters, but some will cruise down the course, so be careful. The courses take a while to settle, but if you're patient they're fun to ski

yeah ben, its labor day
