Slalom's Worst Habits...and How to Correct Them:L

A lot of skiers with otherwise good form will sacrifice angle by keeping their “down” (back) arm across their chest rather than holding it lower on the body. Leaving the down arm across the chest opens the skier to the boat and reduces leverage.

Correct this tendency by consciously checking to make sure your elbows are touching your vest just before you get into your lean. In addition, you might want to accentuate the rotation to get your body into an even better position.
