• Stay in the Sweet spot.
• Ski on steeper terrain--it will make it easier.
• Maintain a relaxed and efficient stance, with feet slightly apart.
• Keep a substantially countered stance, with your upper body stable and facing mostly down the hill, as opposed to your legs and feet that are rapidly changing direction.
• Steer both skis simultaneously and actively in the same direction.
• Extend down the hill from the uphill ski at the end of turns (roughly where your skis are across the fall line,) to achieve a carved turn.

The easiest way to flow into short radius turns, is through "Power wedge turns" as practiced before.

Start by making short wedge turns with the wedge kept fairly wide. Gradually and progressively start emphasizing the weight/pressure shift from outside ski to outside ski.

Aggressively extend off the uphill ski very early--as it crosses the flow line.

If your pressure shift is aggressive enough, the inside ski will become light throughout the turn--when this happens, steer the inside ski to match the movement of the outside ski. Before you know it you'll make short turns with your skis held parallel throughout.

Add the pole touch

Swing your pole and touch it in about a 3 or 9 o'clock direction (almost straight down the hill and diagonally across the skis' direction of travel.)

• Do not "plant" the pole--just a gentle touch.
• Your arms are held mostly steady--let the wrists alone swing the poles.
• At the point where the pole touches the snow, roll that hand forward and over the pole--keep the hand moving forward and avoid it getting bounced back at you.
• The two poles swing continuously, but out of sync--as one swings forward, the other swings back.
• The pole touches right after your skis have crossed the flow line and are pointing across the hill. The touch happens just before the new turn starts.
