Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

A couple of days on holiday this year, and also yesterday at the snowdome when I realised that if I put in the effort I can make this action with the skis where they move and make their turns to each side of me and my upper body stays in the middle, and I can feel the skis pulling themselves through the turn. It feels absolutely fantastic!!

holidayloverxx, I totally 'get that', you have made an astonishing recovery and I am so pleased for you. Very Happy

I had a real breakthrough day last week, discovering a new (to me) tactic. I discovered that if you keep drinking and dancing until 3am your hangover doesn't kick in until after you've finished teaching later that day. At this point five espressos and a free grappa from a sympathetic waitress cures all ills. I'm going to remember that tactic in case I need to call on it again.

Sometimes we need to look more broadly than the inputs we make wink

Moving your inside knee/ski was definitely a step forwards for you.

After about 9 lessons snowboarding suddenly clicked on a holiday to the US. I had booked a group lesson, but as it was quiet I got a 121 lesson and during that lesson it suddenly all came together. Some simple advice about my stance and I never looked back

Spent the rest of the day hurtling round the mountain feeling great until I caught a toe edge which reminded me I still had a lot to learn.

And if instead of the espressos you repeat the process when you finish instructing you can put the hangover off for another day Very Happy

my snowboarding lessons with Neil McNair in Tignes - a private 1/2 day in 2010 and again in 2013. Each of those moved my riding up a tick. The last one helped massively with riding switch, as well as moguls - I no longer avoid them, though they'll never really be a snowboarder's favourite terrain feature...

Third from last day of last season. Nailed 180s in the park. Discovered I could do it again. Felt amazing!!

Next year, 360s!

Harry Flashman, good for you but I find 180s are an inevitable and entirely predictable disaster when trying 360s.

Heh - agreed. I have inelegantly landed a couple of 360s, but definitely more luck than judgement, so cannot claim the ability. Aim to get consistently able without breaking anything next year *touching wood big time here*

Harry Flashman, any 360 I manage usually includes 'touching cloth big time' Sad
