Last season was my first and I remember being so consumed with worrying about every little technique and detail.
"Am I putting enough pressure on my downhill ski?"
"Am I at the front of my boots?"
"How long should I stay pointed down the fall line?"
It wasn't until I just yelled at myself one day and said "Just shut your mind up and SKI" that it all just clicked and the synergy became amazing.
At the beginning of this season (my 2nd), I felt more relaxed with skiing and lazy. My turns were more skidded, I was less on edge, something just wasn't clicking. Then it hit me, I was missing that aggressive mindset that helped drive my skis. Once I snapped back into it, it was much more enjoyable again.
Does anyone else experience this?
P.S. No, this doesn't mean I tailgate and run over ski schoolers.
