Having just read the article I am a little confused... am I supposed to straight-line it on fresh snow then??... no 'zig-zags' allowed...

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

I suspect zig-zaging refers to doing long traverses between turns, or maybe very long radius turns. Traverses or turns that cross a large width of the snow and thus may cut or cross areas of weakness in the snowpack. When we ski off piste we do short radius turns that span maybe three metres width on the slope.

cool video... zig-zags played no part in it - it was that knobhead going back-bottom over T that triggered the avy

"Not recommended ... on a sunlit day..."
Sorry, you can only ride off piste at night, or during a total solar eclipse.

would boarders notice the difference?
Quite surprised all 3 walked away from that. The writer was probably a cub reporter given this one at no notice, hence the trying-to-sound-knowledgeable-but-failing prose.

The zig zagging comment probably relates to wasting all the fresh tracks for others... i.e. using up all the lovely new snow and spoiling it. And GPS means tranceivers... the quality of the article is pretty low regarding knowledge of snowsports.
