I think this is the most useful maneuver for beginners to learn and become proficient at. I learned this from Aaron Roesler at a clinic at Mount Baker a few years ago as a total novice. Practicing the downhill u-turn until it became natural helped me gain confidence and proceed to learning other mountain riding skills.
I need to make some notes for myself of things to practice in controlled situations where I can set up a scenario that if I fail as I practice it won’t be a big deal. That way when I am in a situation where it matters I’ll at least have some experience under my belt. This is a good one to add to the list.

That's what I tell all of my students. Find a moderate low consequence slope and work it! 😬😳
Thanks, you make me excited to get out on the hill.
Totally excited.
Excellent info, Bret.
I'm a 59 year old rookie. And l appreciate all this helpful information. Thanks.
You're welcome. More is coming.
I agree while I'm 56, not so rookie anymore==> Thanks to "the professor" and his "Schooled series"
well explained (step-by-step with graphics),
will you add the same explanations for "hop overs"?
Great idea. I'll get started on that.
