i seem to be having balance issues on my twin tips. i have been skiing on them for years, but i always seem to not find my balance.  im always leaning far back, and when i lean forward shit always goes wrong.  what works for you guys, and if can someone sort of help me out.

get forward and go for it then laugh it off when you get worked.

stay a step ahead, use your poles to reach out downhill kinda, it gets your body moving down with your skis not against them, and it keps you out the backseat, and if you do find yourself back, hockey stop slashes on backsides of bumps, let your body keep going and bring your skis back in your planned line. you scrub speed and it gets you back forward again.
