' You’re right Shane @BoneHead I’ve been dropping inside shoulder since the 80’s!'
Suppose someone convinced you you've reached the maximum result you ever can without drastically changing your skiing, would you devote yourself to making that change or would you choose to live out your ski life with no change -having discovered your glass ceiling?
when you drop your inside shoulder into the turn you establish that shoulder as the 'pivot point ' for your turn, which is a pretty big radius turn. it also separates the ski quite a distance from the handle which make the ski slow down as well.
if you could instead learn to establish your inside hip as the pivot point for the turn you would have a much tighter turn *and* your ski would naturally maintain more speed through the turn, meaning you wouldn't have to pull yourself out of the hole you dig when you drop your head and shoulder into the turn.
as always, just imo -and don't shoot he messenger.
