Hello trench diggers! Is it me or do people get that fear too going down steeper slopes and forget how to carve but slarve instead? How do we overcome this fear haha. On mellow (green/blue) slopes I'm okay with carving (so i think, but appreciate any tips from the gurus, see attached video). Defo can work on my toe side shoulder leveling tech and moving backhand away from snow more :/
Think my heelside could be my downfall, as I am not consistent.
Normally ride 30/+12 goofy, on a stranda biru 150. Only 5'5 ish wt 68kg size 7uk boots. Have got Korua dart 156 which i find amazing for mellower terrains.
This video think i reduced my angles to 24/0 for more all mountain as was doing more varied slopes in alp dhuez, france.
Any help is much appreciated.

I like to think that it’s not fear, but just good sense. Speed control is crucial and I’m not there yet either… very few are.
You might try more of a down/mid-weighted transition, using your knees & ankles for quicker engagement.
As for the Korua, they are definitely more fun on mellower terrain. Their basic construction (poplar & biax) with all that taper is more prone to chatter.
