If you read all these posts, you'll never get to ride.

Keep it simple. You've got some really good tips here and some that are a bit complex.

I think you know which is which.

Rob,

I don't know if you remember me, but if you are the same person I am thinking of, we met at the CASI supercourse (rode the lift with you and Stu I believe) at Banff some years ago- was doing my SB alpine II coach with Gagnon and Hugill. Still the best alpine course I have ever done...Fancy coming down Aspen way for the SES? I know you would be very well received, especially with your coaching background.

Regards,

Sean

Turning

Rotate the upper body into a turn, creating pressure down through your waist,through the lead leg, onto effective edge.

Close your upperbody to initiate toeside turns

Open your upperbody to initiate heelside turns

Athletic stance, slight bend in the knees.

Keep body linerally aligned, body weight centered over snowboard

Compress into the turn, pressure forward.

Drive your momentum in the direction the board is traveling, not downhill.

Look in the direction the board is traveling, not downhill.

Decompress out of the turn.

That's my take. Jon
