With the modern shaped skis you will find that the shape of your turn increases and the skis cuts through the loose, variable snow more easily. With a carved telemark turn in a longer radius , the side-cut of the ski is utilized more to create the turns shape. A more gradual increase in edging and pressure to the ski will result in a more effectively carved turn. Early edge engagement and more subtle un-weighting are used. Exaggerated angulation is mandatory for maintaining a firm edge.
Proficiency requires mileage, stiff boots, and sharp skis.
The pole plant is subtle or may be non-existent. At any section of an intemediate groomed run, pick a target at the bottom of the section you are about to ski and imagine a straight line between you and that target. This is your fall line. You will find that each turn is now close to being the exact same size. Over time, the turns will become virtually identical and this increased symmetry will provide a greater sense of rhythm in your skiing.
