It's a bit like a pull up, I can do two but not twenty!
It will be a combination of fitness and technique. There will always be a point when you will be too tired which can be improved by training for strength, resilience, and flexability, however if you are getting tired in a short session I would take a hard look at technique, with an emphasis on posture.

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

Get some high5 energy drink tablets, or equivalent. Sounds like you have the technique, but not the fitness.

@Jonathanemptage, ummm, how do you mean by compleating the turn. Finishing the course? Or just that mouthful?

Well yeah I've got a condition called MMD which may have something to do with it actually had to relearn how to ski last year which also may have a bearing on it.

Sorry to hear that Jonathanemptage, hope your "relearning" is going well.
I tried to learn to ski at Bracknell, and failed miserably as I have a medical problem with my knees and can't snowplough.

Shouldn't this thread be in 'bend-ze-knees' or 'ski fitness', or even 'off-piste', as almost anything not related to 'off-piste' usually ends up there

@allanm thanks I'm back to level 7 now and yeah problems with your knees won't help you could always adapt a wide stance and just turn in the tips as much as you can.
