Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Can't carve on plastic?

Well I have been reading about a bit and at one point came across a lttle thing saying that you can't do proper snow carving techniques after a certain weight/size.

Can anyone confirm this? Or is it still possible but you damage the bristle?

I guess there is a point where the bristle does not stand up to the forces and releases the edge, but looking at the racers at National events and those in club sessions it must be extremely high. The bristles are constantly being damaged by the edges anyway, as is evident from the dust on your skis afterwards.

Spuddfluff, it's possible to carve on dendix - as beequin says the racers have always managed it Cool
I understand it's much more difficult on snowflex or other carpet-like surfaces but I've never had the misfortune of skiing on it.

Snowflex, a la Bracknell does require more care, with an emphasis on applying pressure through the ball of the foot to initiate the turn, but does allow rapid carved turns http://www.bracknellskislope.co.uk/ski_and_snowboard/race_training

It certainly is possible to carve on dendix, as suggested above....a timely reminder of a morning I spent at Aldershot about 4 years ago. Report here.
