Re: How Do I Turn?

Two thumbs up for the lead change traverse drill. An advanced version can be done on a steep mogul run where you can get a natural walking feeling by extending into the troughs and sort of stepping over the peaks. Just make sure you take a glance uphill as you cross the run.

Re: Ski deaths

Once I was sking along making regular medium turns, came to the top of a rise where there was a family of 4 stopped so turned wide to give them space.
