 Poster: A snowHead

Funnily enough the place I have had most dificulty sideslipping is Hemel - combination of shallow gradient, grippy snow and no momentum made it one of the most difficult basic exercises I've ever done.

Idiot skiers, always playing catchup to us boarders  |
Not so far from wrong. You guys sure beat us to small radius sidecuts. I remember before the shape ski came out, suffering from sidecut envy as I watched boarders carving beautiful short radius turns. I was making my plans to put 2 snowboards on my feet when shapes hit the market.
