Making lines

Hey, if we're posting pictures of lines, I have one.

This was last Saturdays run at Whitewater. Green line was our route
up, red line was our route down. The snow was (suprisingly for a sunny
April 28th day) very, very nice powder. Sunny, no wind, not too warm,
not too cold and perfect powder conditions.

Now *that*, is an enlightening line. Good work.

Things must have stabilized nicely then. Wern't too much skiing 'round
there when we were up.

Nice shot too.

The lines converge and then diverge, skis going all over the place. There's
smears, and then 2 lines where one ski was plainly weighted a lot more than
the other. I guess getting them to go at all on such a flat-looking slope
is worthy of note.

Pretty picture, doesn't look like spring at all. Down must have been pretty
exciting...

I would consider that kind of skiing on that terrain a failure for

the entire way. But even that is pretty boring.

Yup, "except for the few feet at the transition point from edge to
edge" is what makes it boring, as separate the skis at the transition
is what breaks the flow of the skiing. Try to make two thin lines
together all the way next time; it is faster and more exciting.

And as the integrity thing goes, before you can make that line, you
may not qualify, for lacking of real experience, to comment it.

205's make it a little
more fun (and fast!).

If you cannot tell the speed of skiing by looking at the lines/tracks
that the skier left behind, you are not there at the level we are
talking about.

Nevertheless, what do you mean by "fun" in skiing again?


Totally agree. Trying to make two infinitely close lines all the way
down the groomed snoozer is an exercise in vanity. A boring one too.

Boring person, boring mind?
