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 :-)

PsychoBabble, that's precisely the thing.... If you enjoy the feeling you have just described then you probably wouldn't hear an instructor use the term "finish the turn" on you, from the other comments here you can see it's really a loose term intended to control speed when linking turns, but.... once we are able to control our speed using images as FlyingStantoni, has described (exit a turn with the same speed we entered it) we can then move on and start to play around with the turn more and start to enjoy the feelings you have mentioned, the feeling of being kicked into the next turn Very Happy


Actually I disagree Wink

You still want to "finish the turn" or at least not rush into the next turn when your building speed, otherwise (and what often happens) is you skid part of the turn (assuming your trying to carve the whole turn and not skid part of it!!).

simple test on good posted snow is too look for 2 clean tramlines through the turn....

kitenski, cool beans...it was more about playing with the areas you can apply pressure to and when - to create this feeling.
