I thought it was very interesting but as a Brit who has never skied in teh
SIerra may I ask a few stupid questions? Firstly I assume you are talking about spring/corn snow forming natuaral hard pack Secondly what about tehr rest of the kit? Am I right in thinking that you are using some sort of nnn bindings and skate boots? And how wide are the skis ( you may have told us this but I haven't picked up on what you said. It sounds like you descending quite steep slopes are using linked turns? Telemarks? parallels? And finally is what you call an ice tool what I would call and ice axe? I assume yuo can't use crampons on skate boots or can you?
