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 :-)

Excellent written English for a Parisian, out of interest do you ski in jeans and gaiters?

 Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

your stability could be better, probably why you have problems in more difficult terrain.
- move your skis further apart, you'll get greater stability. Watch some of the FIS/racers on TV to get an idea of how wide their skis are.
- keep your arms more stable, they are waving around a lot which only makes you less stable. Aim for more of a "U-frame" (from a birds eye view). Your pole plants involve too much arm waiving, this only makes you less balanced.
- don't "shove" your skis round at the end of the turn so much, let the shape of the ski turn you.

Don't know whether this is a troll or not.

Did you learn by watching 70s French ski movies? What's with the swishy hip movements and the feet glued together? Just watching a few modern ski movies would be a start. There are heaps of basic ski instructor buds out there but you need to develop some self awareness and analysis if you're going to skip out on paying for a real instructor.
