Try this if you are struggling with heel-to-toe turn! This is a practice I like to do with students on the gondola, getting them to drop their hip forward and lean their knees on the bench.

Prior to snow, Mike did 5 lessons on simulator(heelside/toeside sideslip + some falling leaf) This is his 5th day on the snow. He is doing some S-turns on steeper green run. Good work👍 There is awareness of speed control, he knows he needs to control the speed by traversing(not sideslipping), he understood the weight shift and standing up to unweight during edge change. Needs more practice on heel to toe C-turn, hip can push over the toe more. Sometimes eyes forget to look at the direction of travel. Overall good progress from 1st day on snow to the 5th day.

15th day on snow

The progression after Basic S-turn will be divided into skidded turns and carved turns, and in varied turn sizes. Plus, edge change timing will be earlier and with added inputs of "pressuring" and "higher edge angle". After basic S-turn, you will continue to work on the command over "edging", "pressuring" and "steering" of the snowboard. This will enable you to ride more difficult terrain, like steeper runs or bumpy runs.

Skidded: Leaves a "crescent moon" shaped track behind the board during a turn. Speed is controlled by steering the board, using the edge to spray snow to the side Carved: Leaves a thin pencil line track behind the board all the time. Speed is controlled by carving across the slope instead of steering the board.
