😆 Nice picture.You pretty much nailed the scenario. I'd be where your Mr. Frosty is depicted just trying to get down the mountain and the more skilled skiers/boarders would be whizzing by on the left. I seem to have no trouble picking up speed and hanging on, but effectively speed checking (I was trying the fanning of the tail method) without putting myself into the leftmost pass or into the hill is where my problem was. I guess I'll practice that a bit more next time I'm out on the open slopes.. perhaps doing it faster or with more of an angle to avoid turning it into a skidded turn. I just want to feel a bit more in control in these scenarios. I can handle falling, but I really don't want to take someone else out with me. :-)Thanks!
