The use of rational thought and the ability to present a point using
standard english and proper rules of physics and mathematics that is
understood by anybody is not one of tie cheeses abilities.

I looked parts of this video and the only time his skis were flat was
when he transitioned from one turn to an other

"I’m aware sideslipping (skidding) has become a dirty word,
but just try to ski without it. It is as practical as replacing the
steering wheel on your car with one single preset radius turn.
Nevertheless, if you, my friendly hefty ski instructor, intend to link
carving turns to impress the girls on the sun deck, then make sure you
use recreational extra narrow waist skis, make sure you always stick
to precisely the same radius turn, make sure no tree nor big fat lady
stands in your tracks’ rails, make sure you choose a shallow green
slope, freshly groomed, evenly flat, no moguls, then feel free to pick
up speed, lean close to the ground as you carve and, most importantly,
smile for the camera. She might be blonde, but you’ve still got it
made. Showing off is the only practical use for full fledged carving:
a professional skill for the bunny slope. Take our show off instructor
to a regular World Cup slope, not even speaking of going through the
gates, and watch how much is left of his arrogant carving! Watch him
skiing in moguls, trees, deep snow! The craving to carve is a quirk.
What
started as an ideal ended up as a crippling isunderstanding, as we
have humiliated millions of ski students by foisting on them to either
carve or disgrace themselves skidding through their turns.

If you’d rather ski for fun and glee, keep on freely skidding on
mostly flat boards, as you always have, and feel proud of your
efficiency and stylish poise.
