Maybe using your edges more would help. I just took a lesson for the first time in years, and the instructor told me to tilt my feet -- in other words, lift up the big toe on one foot while lifting the pinkie toe on the other -- to get the edges. He said to "ski with your feet". He thinks most skiers forget that and concentrate on putting their body in different positions. I concentrated on "skiing with my feet" and found I was in more control of my speed. It hadn't been a particular problem of mine, but the more control I have, the better. Now if I can just figure out how to ski moguls better!
