[1] Before you change anything, just take a run and ski the same way you used to ski. [2] Traverse across the hill. Turn up into the hill only by tipping your boots/rolling your ankles into the hill. Do not turn your feet at all. Turn uphill until you come to a stop. [3] Get a buddy to stand downhill from you. Take your poles off and put them both together. Give one end to your bud and you hold the other end. Stand with your feet close together and your skis as flat as you can make them without sliding down the hill. Have your bud try to pull down the hill while you pull back. Be careful, you will lose. Next try standing with your feet about shoulder width apart, bend your knees and roll them into the hill and square your shoulders to your bud. You should be able to easily pull your bud uphill. [4] Find a steeper green or easy blue run where you can ski straight for long enough to exceed 20-30 MPH. Keep both of your skis flat on the snow and go straight downhill until your ski tips start to wobble. [5] From a traverse, initiate a turn down the hill by picking up the downhill (what will be the new inside ski) ski tail first while leaving the tip on the snow and pressured, then tilting the ski onto the new edge. Hold the tail off the snow at least until you are going directly down the hill. [6] Try to ski with your legs and feet as close together as possible. [0]
