I watched a bunch of videos trying to teach upper and lower separation. This one was the best. Thanks a lot!

[@kevindi]

Very well done, easy to understand, and helpful drills to get there. Good job!

Fantastic, is that an extra skill level when you add in a wedge and lift your inside ski?

[@skiwithgreg]

Sometimes I'll talk about separation to a novice skier, but mostly they are just trying to maintain balance and rotation. I'm unsure about your reference to wedge and lifting the inside ski. Doing something like that with separation is a much more advanced drill. Working with advanced skiers, I may suggest a 1 ski drill with separation.

[@rogerpalin5864]

@@skiwithgreg as you ski, you create a wedge and then lift your inside ski. I see a lot of videos seeing novices do this but not advanced skiers

I guess I can't walk and chew gum at the same time. I'll be disciplined next season, no reason to be sloppy.
