At any level of skiing you have to anticipate and visualize before you go on the slope. When you facing a challenging slope you have to imagine yourself doing it. You're mind need to be focus. To get a positive result you have to thinking positive. The anticipation is to be aware of the element around you, equipments, trees, snow condition and others skiers.
You will get a better result if you are able to imagine yourself conquering the challenge. Let's think about skiing a narrow steeps slope. Look the slope, analyse your trajectory, anticipate the elements around , imagine yourself doing it and do it. Think positive, stay 100% on a constructive way to reach the result. Breath and go, link the turns to keep your rhythm and your state of mind alert. Confidence is good but stay aware.
Before and on your way down expect change and do the adjustment. Listen the signs that your skis give to you, feel the moment and adjust yourself to the situation. Look for other alternative in your way down. You feel that you are too back on your ski and gaining speed, bring your hands forward, your knees and shoulder over your feet and retake control of your position. Be the driver and not the passenger.
Most of the time that people felt down is because they don't commit themselves to the turn, they let their skis going first and try to follow them. Which result to sitting on the back seat and loosing control. The fear of failing and falling is the cause of it. You have already on mind the apprehension, a negative anticipation. Erase that from your mind. After few little fall some people take confidence because the snow doesn't hurt and is soft. You can do it too.
To help you visualize, look what the better skiers do in this situation. From the simple idea to watch video of good skiers on bumps and keeping in mind their position and movement. For a better result on slope you can take a ski lessons and have your instructor giving you the model of what you want to copy. Your guide line in your visualisation.
