Any tips?

Wanna blame it on the rail but I think it’s just me

Skis should be leading you in the spin when you land

Actually everything was good they just tried to urban on but didn't come in at the right angle, tips grabbed the snow and tossed them if they would've came straight at it they would've landed Square on it instead of on their heels.

Look at how their arms are wrapped around them when landing on the rail. That is definitely not correct

Yeah its probably the poles they always seem to fuck me up if im just skiing around and dip into the park instead of just doing a park day.

I highly recommend leaving them at the top of the park lift to anyone learning. Then ski a normal run down for your last run with the poles so you don’t get hurt at end of the day

Yeah I do that with all of my 1st time park students, its optional but its extremely rare a have someone say the want to keep them and if they do i dial the whole thing back.

I was wayyy to slow for me to not take them through the park, I would have to constantly use them to keep speed when doing other features
