I see these guys grind rails, do shifties and 3's etc. and they look like they have so much control over their skies and what they do. When I try a 3 my skis kind of flail and i can never land it. When I grind boxes my skis wiggle around and I slip out or slide off the box. how do I control my skis better? My boots fit well, and my skis fit also. any help is appreciated thanks

Practice practice practice my dude. Style and comfortability comes with experience so go out and push yourself and try not to get discouraged. Ride with people better than you too. Helps with progression

how long have you been skiing? being good outside the park helps a lot inside the park

Constantly session one box over and over eventually you'll get the feel for them and then step up from there

Skiing doesn't really involve any tricks that make you better. Nearly 90% of why people are able to do things Is because of practice.

Just like everyone else is saying its 100% practice. Tricks aren't usually going to look clean and stylish at all until you've done them over and over again.

Practice air control jumps maybe, it takes nothing but practice, theres no steroid thatll give you insane skill, just practice and work towards even the simplest trick and itll open up doors to new stuff.

the control you talk about comes from practice and leg strength.
