(Meaning to reply to the "normal" post) Things must have stabilized nicely then. Wern't too much skiing 'round there when we were up. Nice shot too. Yup, conditions were bomber. Otherwise we wouldn't have skied that line. As a matter of fact, the snow was just about perfect powder. |

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. http://www3.telus.net/armin/lines.jpg Were you flatboarding? I can truthfully state that once I dropped off the ridge I never set an edge unitl I got to the bottom... it was bottomless powder all the way! ;-) |

Boring person, boring mind? A commonly used and and pathetic cop-out. No, as I told you before, "Boring" is only a subjective perception, and it reflects your inner state of mind. And a boring mind makes a boring view, and boring views make up a boring person." I simply find your incredible egotistic bravado about this ''technique'' of yours rather unimpressive. You prioritize style over substance. Well, as I said, Taichi Skiing is applying Taichi principles to skiing, and Taichi principles are all-inclusive (it covers everything under the "sky"), so it is ultimate. The philosophy end of Taichi, Unism, is beyond your comprehension, so I'm not going to waste my energy to explain it. Nevertheless, the proof lies in those lines. Taichi Skiing's techniques are developed based on Taichi principles and verified with Newton's laws of motions; the "clean" lines show the proof of the validity of the theories, as well as the techniques. Maybe these techniques are "too good to be humble" to you gappers, nevertheless, there's no ego involved. Your "unimpressive" only reflects your own "incredible egotistic bravado." I'd much rather find my own way of getting down (and up) a line like the one Armin posted above in this thread, rather than obsess over the aethetics of my lines on a groomed snoozer. It'll be more impressive if you can make down in "one" *clean aesthetic* line down. No matter what the lines look like...It's still a groomed snoozer. Your boring view it is. IS |

When I ski turns like that I try to leave two tiny thin lines 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. With all the skidding in that video it had to be SLOW. 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. I don't make them "close together" btw. I'm kind of a shoulder width kind 'o' guy. Boring person, boring mind? I can't believe I even reply to you. You are as hopeless as barf trying to convince us that he misunderstood the trunkyjeff thing. But Yab had something for me to clear up on this one. |
