Easy Does It And Find The Rhythm.

If you look at Henrik Kristoffersen here in the blue Norwegian National Team uniform doing slow turns, you will see the value of mechanics at a basic level.   

The important thing that I realized in watching Kristoffersen executing basic turn maneuvers at a very slow pace is that we all can work on basics at this speed.  It is important from time to time to practice the basics like this on gentle terrain. 

Another thing about turn speed is that it is a good idea to start each run with a slow series of turns.  When you start out too fast, and the terrain becomes more difficult, the turns are compromised.  It is better to start out slowly and make a series of good turns, then you can develop a rhythm which will take you smoothly through the run and not end up hitting the brakes to find your rhythm. 

Good smooth carved turns are executed when one starts out a run with deliberate slow turns.   Oftentimes I ski behind my wife and have her start out slowly.  I tell her to concentrate on the uphill edge which will become the downhill edge.   I call out the appropriate edge and she makes nice rounded turns with edge pressure control throughout the radius of her turns.  Try it sometime with someone  whom you are trying to move to the next level.
