And think of it exactly the same as a bike, the faster that bike is going around the corner the more lean and angle you're going to need around the corner. 20mph, the same bike at 5mph is going to be more upright and you will start to feel that with the legs. But don't let the shoulders fall onto the inside - keep them slightly more upright. You can see here that I'm not going particularly fast but my legs are leaning over more than my upper body. As I increase the speed the legs lean over further but the upper body remains more upright. If you compare the two, you can clearly see the difference. Start to change the rhythm of your turns and really play with the terrain. Look ahead, anticipate what is coming and adjust your turns to suit. Just have fun with it. Now that you have got the skills to ski happily around the mountain on all pistes, just keep practicing them. Remember if you find something is not working don't look for a complicated reason, go back a step, get the basics right and I'm sure you will come back stronger. Next time we are going to be looking at specific skills that are going to take you on another step and we will start exploring much more of the mountain. We'll see you next time.
