The long s-turns are great on big power bowls, but not so good in trees or rocky chutes, which are pretty much the only places I get the pow these days.Scottiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11752123410787066740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6027542857844740069.post-6771222680563487262009-03-29T14:47:00.000-07:002009-03-29T14:47:00.000-07:00neida--these were alpine skiers. i like the speed...neida--these were alpine skiers. <BR/><BR/>i like the speed that the longer turns allow you. and when someone can pull off the long, smooth, S-turns on the steep stuff i think it looks really sweet.<BR/><BR/>if you get a chance to see 'Selskapresan' you can see the scene(s) that sparked the conversation. it's a pretty funny movie too: really 80's.SUPERMARMOThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13118573878519166595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6027542857844740069.post-40184876771512092992009-03-29T13:33:00.000-07:002009-03-29T13:33:00.000-07:00They just call it 'gay skiing' because it's way to...They just call it 'gay skiing' because it's way too hard to do with Tele turns.<BR/><BR/>I don't want to go full out mogul skiing when there are no moguls, but I think that somewhat tighter turns look neater.
