Yup, line-skiing,


Taichi! The video guys have poles! You changing your mind about poles?


You'll also notice that in the final segment when he finally get around
to the alleged point of the video (i.e. slipping short turns with the
skis flat), the skier tips his skis on edge whenever the terrain becomes
steepish. Not flat skis at all.

That said, the video may be a good antidote to the "must carve all turns
all the time" meme that appears from time to time. Or not. I'm still
not entirely sure what the point is....


If there were a point it wouldn't be a religion.
