Poster: A snowHead

Apparently my skiing would improve dramatically if I had some.
(Actually, the word "commitment" was used, but I think that - amongst friends - we know what was meant.)

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

"commitment" is the operative word as far as my skiing is concerned. Genrally within and slightly outside my comfort zone my skiing is described as confident and flowing,beyond that I think it becomes a bit ragged. A lot of what we are capable of is all in the mind. I know I am capable of more but there is something that holds me back. Mostly that annoys me that I think that way, but there is also a part of me that tells me to be sensible because I can't afford to damage myself because of being responsible for a child, work and other stuff.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Kitty, I'm certain Spydie's done enough to owe you his, so just take them out of the box when you need a bit of 'commitment'

FlyingStantoni, I think you have your Kahuna's mixed up with your Cojones...

It's an interesting question. Last season two instructors independently asked if I had a problem with speed (i.e. was I frightened of skiing quickly). This surprised me because generally I didn't think that I did. I was surprised when they pointed out on video that when I was skiing fast long radius turns I would pivot my skis a little bit as if I was trying to scrub off a little speed. I wasn't aware of doing this, but it was happening. It seemed as if my lack of kahunas is a subconscious thing rather than a conscious response to something that frightens me. How can you change a behaviour that you're not aware of?

Yup, THE big Kahuna might have big cojones, but there the similarity ends.
