What I got out of his videos is to keep your skis weighted throughout the turn and skiing with both skis equally. Agreed that this is actually the only thing that really matters. How to get this done is subtilely different depending on conditions, speed, ski flex, boot stiffness, binding activity, ...

Ingstads mounted AT? However you still Tele on the BD’s. I know skiing in Alaska is different. I learned quite a few years ago that it isn’t very wise to tell another man what he should do to enjoy himself. As a guy that really enjoys dropping a knee.

I’m not saying I didn’t feel very refrozen Corduroy underfoot. I will say I wasn’t skiin...

@Jurassien i hope you make contact, it would be great if this story has another chapter
