Not sure if this will be of any use to any of you, but please check out this video of short turns:
Maybe 2 weeks ago, I was doing laps on a green runs at Gore Mountain, and decided to do a bunch of really short turns to get myself to bend my knees more, and use my shins turn...
It was really helpful to be able to shift my weight from side to side quickly so I do not hold a turn for too long, and it got me to more actively ride my board, instead of it riding me...
This also seems to help me when riding crap chunky snow...
And another rambling thought is that when I look further ahead and plan my next few turns, I ride better than if I am looking too closely at the nose of my board...
