This may have looked a lot different if you were looking down the hill, where you were really going vs looking at the cam. what throws it off is that if you were actually looking down the hill at the time of the pic, that right arm may have been coming around quicker and everything may have been driving forward down the hill more aggressively. It doesn't look that way to me, looks more like mugging for t he cam.

Hard to say from one pic certainly, but has the look of jamming that turn hockey style instead of working the ski tip to tail, getting on the tip early and letting it work like the scalpel that it is.
Capboy, the guy has been training like hell off season, skied how many days this year and all you can give him is it looks like he's having fun? I think he wants more than that.

if the guy is that serious about improvement why isn't he in private
lessons w/video analysis instead of polling us with one snapshot off Mouse Trap?
