@gsm_peter, I hear ya. I have only been able to make baby step progress, for the last 2 years, skiing 12 months per year. At least I have been generally making forward progress, but not always. Winters are kind of slight negative progress/ maintainance, until it starts warming up again. This spring I had good success, using the zerro off free ski mode, and adding .2 or .3 m.p.h. For each pass. That way, I can work on body position, and the increased speed per pass is not a problem. Until about 3 wheels ago, when I abandoned the increment skiing, and started at 30, -15, 32,-15, then got a p.b. 6 @ 34, -15, and crashed at 6 ball, and stretched and tore some ligaments. I have been kind of depressed, because the doctor told me no skiing until sept. 1. I will then start again, and ski, ski, ski., but try to be more careful. I don't know what to say, other than keep skiing, and do the best you can. Good luck.
