It's true that off-piste is getting more crowded due to these new
equipment - the trend already started with fat skis years and years
ago. Nevertheless, the new gear also enables advanced experts to ski
better.


I don't see it.


You don't? Haven't you seen any ski-films lately?? The pros ride much
steeper stuff, go faster and one can see that they "smear" their turns
when necessary. I'm pretty certain the new equipment is instrumental
in making this possible.

I think it makes advanced look like experts maybe.


Yes, and I think it's making some experts to super-experts

Better than being a psychopath, pathological liar, and dickless

What I have found than on GS ski's and going for speed you lean forward
and drive shins in to front of boots and works well on eastern firm and
hard pack and has horrible results in any powder.


We're talking micro adjustments here. But I feel like I still drive my
shins forward in powder. But there's a feel you get from the tips
flexing upward that you have to be sure not to "overrule".


I use a macro adjustment when it comes to powder take the boots off go
to hot tub. If it is an all day thing would go sledding with my son.
My experience is that it is brutal on my knees and rather opposite
of the skiing I desire to do. In to speed and g-force and smashing
into plastic poles.

Was waiting for our netkook to announce that he skies tips pointed down
in powder actually.

Say it again what the "fact" is now, after your "telling the truth"
that "A lot of that is quite certainly powder skiing."


Yes, Chai-tea. An entirely different clip presented later does show
powder skiing.


It doesn't make the clips presented earlier any different.


Oh yeah, now you've specified your "standard," let's try the "fact" of
the first clip again, @:48 onward,


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=diKD08dqj0I


That wasn't the first clip.

This was:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-HnaOGRM1Y

And there is no powder skiing in it.


That clip was to introducing the "teleboarding," not necessarily
"teleboarding in powder," and the previous clip was subsequently used
to show how teleboarding "works in powder" before you jumped in.
Regardless, what's the "fact" of the "teleboarding works in powder"
now?

Maybe, but I'll say questionable; nevertheless, what's the different
in "techniques" to ski them? Let's see your example of what powder
skiing is?


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NKLWnGrrGAU


From 00:48 to 1:45 is definitely real powder skiing.


Good powder, we don't have much of those kind of snow around here;
nevertheless, I think your definition of powder skiing is too narrow.
Is that real [untracked] powder makes the easiest snow medium to ski
with?


If you're asking if untracked powder is the easiest snow condition in
which to ski...

...the answer is no.


To your skills, maybe, care to show how you powder skiing?

Say it again what the "truth" is now, after "You were asked to show it
working in powder and you didn't." But I did.


No. You didn't.


You have now, but you hadn't when that was first said.


Oh yeah, now you've specified your "standard," let's try the "fact" of
the first clip, @:48 onward,


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=diKD08dqj0I"


and how about my claim that teleboarding is a new way to ski to
powder?


Since even in that clip, the snow never gets over his knees, it's pretty
clear that it is at the most about 14 - 16" deep.

Not really powder.


Whatever; I think your definition of "powder" is very narrow, what
depth your powder skiing begins, and why?

Ok, Mr. shameless LOL.


LOL


So shameless it goes.

I don't see the "technique" differences in skiing above 6 inches of
fresh snow.


In 6 inches of snow, your skis end up in contact with the firm base. In
actual powder conditions the snow beneath the skis is still soft.


Maybe in BC, here in the Sierra Nevada mountains 4 inches will cover
the firm base, and you won't feel the base on 6 inches. Then, again,
does that 2 inches of snow cover make different skiing?


1. You're simply lying or deluded if you think that you don't contact
the firm base in only 4 inches of loose snow.


You may scrape the bottom "occasionally" on 4" of fresh snow, but not
on 6", and definitely not on 10", so your "6 - 10 inches of loose snow
do not make powder skiing" is only your own bull****.


You bottom out continuously in 6" of snow light enough to be powder
skiing if it's deeper.


Not in sierra cement powder (if such term is valid), nevertheless,
"normal" powder skiing techniques are still applicable.

2. The primary difference is that on a firm base you can easily recover
from occasional moments when your weight is not even distributed on both
feet. Get your weight on one foot for even a moment in real powder and
you're going down.


That maybe your problem, but not mine,
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0W6rrz1Tw4k


Real [untracked] powder is supposed to be the most easy snow medium to
ski with, you should be able to hold on/balance it with one foot.


Nope. And that isn't powder. The fact that your depth in the snow
doesn't change with the phase of the turn you're in demonstrates that
you're skiing on the compacted snow beneath the loose snow.


No, Flatboarding(tm)/line-skiing, can turn any time, has no "turn
phase," so your little knowledge wouldn't apply.

Anyone who thinks that one can use technique to ski each of them...


What are the "'technique' differences" again?


Look above.


Rebutted.


LOL



...is deluded.


Or this thought is deluded?


Nope, but you are.


Of course you think so, Mr. deluded.


LOL


So deluded it goes.

Talking about netkookery, think I'll just let this post hang itself.

Given today RSA's cooperative atmosphere, shame on you, you netkooks.

Every professional skier that I have talked to says you move your skis
in parallel in powder. That skiing with just one foot weighted leads to
crashes.
I ski on one foot and transfer weight between them it does not work in
powder, you will crash.


I think we were talking about balance/recovery on one foot [after a
mishap] in powder skiing, not the full-blown powder skiing technique.

I would like somebody else on this list to agree with you that you can
use two skis and make one lighter just using one ski than the other in
powder and not crash.


Using two skis as one "board" was one characteristics of
Flatboarding(tm), and I didn't crash,

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGIuQcR_Q4k

Next you are going to claim that you can run in powder with tips pointed
down.


Why? When LAL vouched my skiing, you didn't acknowledge and run away,
and yet keep coming back to make such untruthful illegitimate retarded
inference; what's your point?
