Observe the easy flex in the knees, and the steadyness of the hips as they remain open to the fall-line. Consider the centered stance and equal weighting on the skis. One picture is worth a thousand words, as it easily illustrates the basics. (Show snorkle. A real snorkle would be two feet long and only the tip would be visible. I suppose he can get away with a show snorkle because the wide planks keep him floating high?) |

This is about as close as I got: http://homepage.mac.com/saemisch/Canada2004/Deepest.jpg That's good. That's very good. I especially like how you captured in this single picture all elements that so electrify the deep snow experience, particularly the snow-eating grin and the "yeeha" echoing off the mountain flanks. I can make out the tip of that two foot snorkle, too. |
