Maybe I should post a clip from lower down in the Super C, you can see some of the faults quite clearly - though in my defence, it wasn't the easiest skiing in the world and I wasn't likely to carve perfect round turns there).
It would just be nice to see horizon - sod the analysis!
I'd like to see it. After all, skiing is all about good 'outcome'
Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Well until I get home tonight and post the short clip from Super C, if you haven't seen it before here's the 5-minute clip from two years ago in Via Lattea, with me as the second featured skier. Most skiing is relatively mellow but all offpiste.
I hope it's not blocked in the UK, I can see it in Belgium.
horizon, snowball, Wicked! I'll get some at some point of me off piste and you guys can give me some pointers! lots!
Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Re "too much pressure at the end of the turn" - I feel that sometimes, but it seems to me that completing my turns across the slope even more (as FlyingStantoni suggests above, and I think he's right) would lead to even more pressure at that stage, as the direction of movement changes?
Nice skiing. Too much pressure at the end of the turn is a problem I have too and suspect it's because we start to pressure the ski late and then hard, often finishing the turn with too straight a leg. Try this - for a right turn begin to pressure as early as you can in the turn (e.g. 1 o clock) build up the presure to max out at around 4. Then reduce the pressure by sucking up the feet gradually but still turning the skis across the fall line into the next turn.
Your skiing is nice and dynamic although Snowball's looks slightly more controlled and he has by far the better Moustache.

Love the man turns next to the little swings at 1.40!
Then you can post your own questions or snow reports...

Might have been better to knock off the frozen snot before taking the pic but otherwise, yeah, Champion.

You look a much better skier when you aren't trying to look like a ski instructor and just rip the pow! Landings could use some work though. Try not falling over next time .

Yes, there had been a huge dump which made for high avalanche danger so not much steep skiing.

Frozen breath, please, not snot I know that for sure because I ate the bit off the left hand end which was even more dangley.

Yes but dangly bits on the extremes of the moustache are unlikely to have been nasal mucus unless they were formed during a period of strong winds blowing the nasal discharge sideways. It is however unlikely that such a large dangly bit could withstand the extreme forces generated by side winds. It's hard to tell without a video anlysis or tasting but the shorter dangly bit in the middle just under the nose, that could well be one big bogey.
