Dissecting the Anatomy of a Heelside Turn

My opinion for what it's worth... (never rode a powder board)

I've been plagued with the knees together, sitting on the toilet heelside turns for years, I learned pretty much by myself and developped

bad form. Thanks to this site I linked up with local riders that had better technique and a will to share it, my heel side turns a MUCH better know!

I have power, control and confidence that I never had before. Knees together and stiff legs are very bad, your legs as to work independently to

absorb bumps, shift weight front to rear and let your hips rotate.

First of all, he's riding with a backpack, inside a resort.  Don't be that guy.

In addition to all the other apt observations, he looks like an intermediate hardbooter trying to ride softboots like hardboots.  Don't be that guy either.  Current softboot carving technique has little to do with rotating the hips towards the nose.

not only am I that guy (ski patrol back pack though so I get a pass)  I do so on a Dupraz.  double match!
