Here's a video of me carving a small east coast resort (Mont Gleason, QC). The whole mountain is pretty mellow so this is one of the steepest run. How's my form and how should I improve it? My goal is to be able to transfer my skills to bigger/steeper mountain.
Thanks in advance!

Looking good there! Some nice linked carved turns you have going on. The "lunch tray drill" (keeping your shoulders level) can be used on any slope angle, so that would be something to work on. It also adds some dynamics to your turns because it forces you to create angles and muscle flexion and extension. I'm not sure what board you are riding, but having a board that is more suited to carving at speed with a longer effective edge will help when going to steeper terrain.

@deuxdiesel Thanks a lot for the drill suggestion. I can't wait to try it on snow this weekend! As for my board, it's a Ride Peace Seeker 147 which isn't really a full on carving board. It's a short-wide with a pretty small sidecut (bi-radial 4.8-7.7m). It wasn't my first choice but I am tight on money (I'm still a student) and 50% off (350CAD) was hard to pass. I also thought the smaller sidecut and shorter length would make it a little more fun and challenging than a bigger traditionnal carving board on my small resort.
PS : Here's the spec sheet of the board if anybody's interested about it
