Mountains, rivers, oceans couldn't stop them.


Big deal
My dad was a radio man on a B-17 you were never exposed to the type of
training he went through...

My dad was a radar operator/navigator.

No. The basic facts of powder skiing are that occurs in powder snow

If you're missing either one, you're not powder skiing.

Not if you don't know what "powder snow" is. "Cement powder" is
"powder" snow just like any fresh powder. The difference between
sierra cement powder and UT dry powder is that the dry powder would
fly away from the skier and remain in "powder" form when the skier
skis through it, while the cement powder would liquefy and refreeze,
so it loses its "powder" form and sticks on the skis, boots, and the
skier. And you cannot ski through sierra cement with you UT dry powder
skiing techniques without falling in every other turns. Yes, that/
sierra cement powder really tests you "whole" knowledge of "powder
skiing."

Nobody I ski with considers "Cascade concrete" or "sierra cement" to be powder
snow. Powder snow is powder, not mush. On this you are clearly wrong. You just
don't get to redefine the terminalogy of skiing. Quit trying.

Lots of things are rated black that aren't very difficult for even an

Yup, that must be in your local mole hills, Kirkwood is a major
resort, they do uphold their high standard that they're famous for.

"Kirkwood" is a "major resort"?

LOL

And you think that a resort being "major" affects how they classify runs?


...so why did you lose your balance multiple times?

Your green MA.

Too late for that one, Chai-Tea. You already admitted to losing your
balance.


Too embarrass to talk about your broken knee in details, eh?

Not all all. My "broken" knee is so good that my orthopedic surgeon has
told me I don't need surgery to repair the AcL.

But you don't want to talk about how you lost your balance and broke
your knee?

You didn't ask about it.


But you don't; light forces or not, they don't change the facts about
powder skiing. A good powder skiing, flows freely, doesn't exert much
forces.

He exerts exactly the same forces as the same skier skiing at the same
speed making the same radius turn on hard snow.

Not really, different snow contents has different reaction to the same
forces, and you were talking about moving up and down (turn phase) in
powder skiing but didn't know our body weight can actually vary from
0G to 1G?

No, really.

A skier of W weight making an X radius turn at Y speed creates precisely
the same force regardless of the snow.


Yup, we have been that block before, save me some typing.

LOL

Yup, "little knowledge."

LOL


LOL

Yup, "little knowledge."

Yup, LOL is frozen on your face now, Mr. shameless LOL.

Well, as long as we're doing "my dad"s, my dad dropped out of high
school in 1942 to join the USMC, and ended up as an ordnanceman and
gunner in PBJ1's (USMC version of B25).

Oops, wrong question wrong answer; nevertheless, it will do, so, the
untracked powder makes the "easiest" skiing in high level skiing?

No. It's far easier to ski groomed or ski-compacted snow.

The stipulation was "beyond the groomers"/high level skiing.

High level skiing happens wherever a high level skier is, Chai-tea.

There was no stipulation.


And that is the problem. When you think others' right techniques are
wrong, you will not learn, and your knowledge will not grow, and
that's why you remain a little knowledge.

LOL

Yup, "little knowledge."

"When the true way is shown,
High level practitioners practice it diligently;
Mid level practitioners give a thought now and then;
Little knowledge laughs, if they don't laugh, it (the true way shown)
is not the true way."

LOL


Given your partitioned nature, maybe is the case; but it is not the
case if you know how to bend your knees [without losing your balance]
to absorb the shocks when you hit the hard base.

LOL

You can't keep your balance traversing a moderately pitched slope, so
that leaves you out.

The "moderately pitched slope" remains your green MA, and/or your
shameless denial; nevertheless, you don't consider your broken knee
leaves you out?

It's a moderately pitched slope, Chai-Tea. Deal with it.

And I'd happily ski that slope and others a lot steeper with my knee as
it is.

I didn't fall while doing a simple traverse.

Nope. Because it's not powder skiing.

Skiing cement has its own techniques... ...they're just not powder

Yup, little knowledge.

So goes the little knowledge.

That's where your little knowledge fails you. Do you know what makes
"telemark" skiing?

Yes. Do you?

No, you don't.

A radio man? And you think he had tough training? We call the
personnell who ride in the flying death traps, "zoomies." They never
miss a meal or their sleep. They never see the enemy or even carry a
weapon. He probably never even shined his boots.

Vote for Palin-Brown in 2012. Repeal the nightmares.

They were your own twisted words, so, it actually makes the proof that
you cannot face the fact other people praise my skiing. You are
slipping back into your shameless denial.

LOL


I've seen the clip. It wasn't powder at all.

I did say that you don't read beyond your skull, right? There's no
clip for that day. Nevertheless, your green MA did fail you miserably
in the past.

"That day". You're getting even more incoherent, C-T.

So, what clip you have seen? Then, how do you know what kind of snow
condition we were in "that day"?

Ah! Now I understand.

There was a clip of "that day", Chai-Tea. I didn't realize what you were
referring to by that day until this latest post.

You were skiing (slowly) through about 10 - 15 inches of snow over
moguls.

It wasn't very impressive.


You must live in a miserable life, sorry for you.

Your sorry enough for yourself, C-T. Be satisfied with that.

Not a least bit, I don't have to lie through my teeth to pretend to be
knowledgeable, but you do, and fail.

LOL

So shameful.

Did he tell you that training losses were much higher during wwii than

No, but he does have a few stories. Like the top gunner whose bubble burst. He
was sucked out of the B17 and landed astraddle the fuselage just ahead of the
tail. They couldn't get him to jump, so the pilot climbed to high altitude and
did a slow roll. The gunner took over 2 hours to get down with his chute due to
the thermals over the southwest desert.
