Hi -
I just started learning skiing and currently learning how to do snowplow turns.
I am finding that while I am able to put my weight on the outside ski, and I body is leaned on the side of the outside ski, I am still not able to perform the turn. My inner Ski is still pointed in the opposite direction (as it should be I guess in snowplow turn), but it seems to be edged nicely into the snow and I am guessing that is what is preventing my turn from happening because the inner ski still wants to go in the opposite direction of the turn.
How do I fix this snowplow turn problem? Do I have to consciously flatten the inner ski or point it on the other edge? Or should I try to lift the inner ski?
Thanks!
