LOL, I call those “windshield wiper turns”. I would think you kinda want to go with that motion when necessary, and I would assume a Black run that is all tracked out would be most appropriate. But to overcome the generally unwanted action of “waggin' the tail” especially from heelside to toeside, try initiating your turn by keeping your front knee nice and bent. Bend it more than you think you should. Then move your knee forward. This will twist the board torsionally and start the board moving into the turning motion. Trust your board to do what it is designed to do. Once the board steers across the direction of travel (or virtual fall line assuming we are skidding the turn to ditch speed on a steeper run that is already tracked out) extend both legs into the turn together. This action will give you the fast steering action that y

This action will give you the fast steering action that you may want on most challenging runs and also keep you in the most balanced position.Once you get the hang of this motion, and you feel like getting more outside the fall line and more carvey and speedy, you can work this dual leg extension prior to the turn transition. (The less the run is tracked out the easier this is). Then once extended, transition with the torsional board twist and unweighting of the board that comes from the top of the extension movement. Once on the new edge, continue steering with the torsional flex (again trust the board) and slowly sink down as you continue through the turn by bending both knees (kinda like a squat).You will find this handy all over the mountain including the park and pipe.
