Thanks to all on the suggestion that I start on a shorter radius, softer ski. I ended up getting some new old stock (2021) Atomic X9 WB's x 168cm. These are a much softer, and super easy to ski. I really like them. 168s are surprisingly stable even at pretty good speeds.
I am now mostly laying clean RR tracks on easy slopes (while trying to avoid novices and not get the stink eye from Patrol). I have a relatively easier time cleanly initiating right turns, because my right leg is more "coordinated", and it is therefore easier to make a parallel initiation going right. My stance/width is not always consist, especially going left. I have learned that if you initiate with the inside ski, the outside just follows, but if you initiate with the outside ski, the inside ski does nothing, and you can easily end up A-framing badly.
I still struggle with striking a dynamic balance between anticipation (leaning the body into position while creating edge angles before you load the ski) vs loading the skis in a way that my by position is not ready for. It is strange. There is this subtle timing/balance that I struggle with when I am going slow, and trying to work on initiating with the inside ski. Sometimes I initiate the turn, but the response of the skis is less than my body was set for, and I get off balance and have to put extra weight back on the inside ski. Other times, I initiate the turn, and the skis respond quicker than I am set for, and skis load and squirt under me almost like an out of control slalom turn. My body had just not learned this subtle balance yet. The initiation during low energy turns/drills is sort of "light-switchy". Sometimes too much ski response...some times not enough....
I ride motocross, and one thing we do on dirt bikes is "catch ourself" with the throttle and the brake. When you are about to accelerate, you will shift your body forward (almost "falling") on the bike just a moment before you get on the gas. If you did not get on the gas, you would and up bent over the handlebars with your head heading towards the fender. But a slit second before that happens, your roll on the throttle, and "catch" your body with acceleration. You do the same with braking. When you are hauling it into a corner, there is a lot of effort trying to hold your body slightly forward on the bike. When you are going to get on the brakes, you basically let the bike for squirt ahead of you ("falling" back) just before you get on the brakes. Just before you are about to be too far back on the bike, you "catch" yourself with hard braking. It is all about anticipating the load, and matching the body position to the loads it WILL see in the very near future. You have to position the body before you apply the loads. I just seem to be a bit uncoordinated doing this side to side on skis so far.....especially for small loads.
When I start skiing harder, this issue goes away because I am using the pop of the ski going across the hill. The loads are bigger. This naturally creates larger early edge angles, but later edge loading. Early edge angle development does not mean you load the ski and turn early. When skiing hard, you can float across the hill,...and wait till you have a lot of angle before you actually weight the ski at then suddenly load it up very quickly. But I am afraid that if I jump ahead to this style of skiing before I have taught my inside leg what to do, then I will just end up A framing like the old days. So only make a few hard turns here and there to see how things are working. Most of the day I spend working on mundane drills like Garlands, RR tracks, etc.
