Coach Z's tip of the weekend - level shoulders

I was skiing with some friends this morning and spotted a common problem so I thought I would share it with you all.

Make sure you keep you shoulders level particularly after the fall line.  Its very easy to tip the uphill shoulder back up hill.  To lock in the proper feeling after the fall which would be in the bottom half of the turn try to raise your inside (uphill) shoulder so that you stay level.  Since your shoulders are connected to your hips this will keep you from leaning back into the hill giving you much better edge hold through the turn.
