Default more Tai Chi skiing

I'm not sure if this would qualify as Tai Chi skiing, but I can guess
what my hand motions would be like.

Wow - choice of line really goes up when you ski with a glider. That
was cool.

Sorry for the reply to my own post, but as I explore the web site above,
I keep finding more and more examples of Tai Chi skiing.

Note how this snowboarder harnesses the power of Tai Chi on his final
landing. It's all in the hands....

Okay, last one, I promise. But if you only look at one of these clips,
this is the one. Ladies and Gentleman, allow me to present Tai Chi ski
jumping. Assuming the guy wasn't hurt, it may be the funniest ski clip
I've ever seen.

He's definitely not relying on his edges.

And the flatboarding all the way up to that huge huck. Very
impressive. After dropping in and soiling myself, I would have made
some turns to keep the speed down a bit before take off.

Hy-sterical, but I wonder if he got hurt the first coupla times he
tried it (there's already a pretty hefty crater or two there before he
launches.)
