 Poster: A snowHead
|
Had an amazing day yesterday. In the morning I skied with friends and in the afternoon hooked up with a couple of little rippers, one of which was Rungsp's offspring. I shall post a TR when I get a chance. The boys pointed out I suck at skiing and should learn to turn. The tracks on the far right are mine (5 turns?)...

looks to me like everone else was too scared to go fast 
those are the kind of trns i like, big fast swoopy turns... often hurts more when you fall though - thems the risks we take.

turning is one of those things that you learn as an intermdiate that you then have to unlearn if you want to progress

30/40 turns too many?

You know it makes sense.
|
GrahamN, three turns and clipping each end of the picture would be better

Hurtle, Bouncing around like a 'Bunny with Turrets' can be a nice feeling, in the narrowest and steepest places.

was the accepted (only) way to ski powder, and I think many people still ski that way. It's one thing I've been working on, ie opening up the turns and letting the skis run, it's certainly a very different experience.....

The photo above was shot on Barry's Bowl, a few years ago I skied it with an Aussie friend of mine who billy goated all the way down. 62 turns! I straight lined it, top to bottom, no turns. When we finished he was laughing at me, saying I wasted it all. I asked him why he had put in so many turns, apparently, he always wanted to make one of those 80s post card lines... Still, he's back in Australia and his 62 powder turns have to last him a few more years. Me? I'll ski it again next week after the next dump. Straight line it switch maybe? (I wouldn't actually make it all the way down mind).

Each to their own, some people like doing nice long carves on piste others do short turns.. same applies in powder. I personally prefer the long turns which get you more speed.
