    The biggest problem with beginners is they put their weight on the heel. Tell them to put it on the ball because they’re going to rock back as soon as they get into trouble anyway.

    sorry dude, but you can’t even get this right. They way you are getting petting to start off from a standstill is sure to get a beginner skier screwed. Have you never heard of the ‘bullfighter turn’.
    Also, you say weight on the balls of your feet. Not good. Not in any of your videos have you talked about being centered, balancing the weight evenly over the whole foot. If you use the arch of the foot as the center.
    A correctly balanced skier will therefore use the whole ski, not just the tip.

    When I was little I would watch warren miller movies and look at ski mags to learn. I hit the slope and skied the whole run (beg) Just by reading and learning. Then putting these things I learned into practice. Your IQ really shows. Go to school and get a job. U have a mind of a chimp.
