Which of the following best describes your current ski technique, and your desire for change?

1. I can go across the hill and finish most turns with my skis parallel. I sometimes or usually open my skis into a wedge position to start turns. I'd like to start my turns with my skis parallel.

2. I sometimes find it hard to start a turn, especially on steeper hills. I don't have a rhythm to my turns - I just turn where or when I need to. I'd like it to be easier to start turns, and to link them in a steady rhythm.

3. I usually ski parallel. On steeper hills, or icier runs, I feel like my skis slide sideways a lot. I'd like my skis to grip and carve better.

4. I usually ski parallel. My turns are big, and take a long time to go back and forth. On narrow trails or catwalks, I don't always have enough space to make turns. I'd like to learn shorter turns.
