I am a semi experienced classic skier with extremely lacking downhill skills. Haven't met a hill I can't get up, which may be a big part of the problem...



Going to take myself out of the brake or break situations for a bit and try to better master this skill on less angled and less consequential terrain.

Maybe look into shopping the end of the season specials on some slightly wider and less cambered skis as well.
Hey Sam, I think you are exactly on the right track. Good technique is developed on easier terrain. End of the season specials are a good thing as well. Good luck
