Ok,
Robbie, (16 next month, 50kg).
Running 36 relatively consistantly now, occasionally back to back, & then thru to 3 @ 22off.
Last Wednesday, I practiced him at 32 & 34 @ 22off. Ran them no problems. 36 brought his faults out.
Yesterday it was fairly choppy with about a 15-20km/h cross/tail wind. Running 34 was a struggle for him but could run it.
Dropped him back to 30mph & had him run some 22 & 28's at that speed. Probably did 4 at each length in both head & tail wind directions.
Is this a bad idea? Skiing the shorter lengths slower & working them back up.
Particularly in bad conditions?
Cheers
Phil

Learning a shorter line length its sometimes helpful to slow down a bit, see the line you need to ski, get more confident, then ease the speed back up.
I think the most important thing is you know what you are working on. What part of your skiing are you trying to figure out and improve. If its easier to work on this at a slower speed or longer line then do it. Once you feel good, speed up or shorten to see how you do.
Just my 2 cents

Funny I must have still been composing my post when you replied & jumped above me.
Another tip he gave us was to run really crazy slow speeds, like 28 mph or less, because if you don't ski on edge, you will never run it, and if you do it right, you will.
