Context: My son is 12 years old and is a solid all-mountain parallel skier (Level 6-7). He’s comfortable in bumps, off-piste, and carving. He is on standard alpine equipment—no touring or telemark bindings.

The Observation: Since we started spring skiing this season, he’s adopted a stance that looks almost like a Telemark style (significant lead change with the inside ski very far forward). I'm not sure if this is a coincidence with the softer spring snow or a new technical habit. I didn't "coach this"... any thoughts here? I asked him about this, and he said it felt natural...

Update - solved: he’s just fooling around, but make sure it doesn’t become a habit.. thanks so much for the feedback and pointed criticism. I actually showed him the video today for first time and he said it looked funny how he was skiing…
