LP, yeah, that skiing looks actually pretty easy, but both of us know how hard it is to ski that way. They are so technically sound that they make it look easy. The one thing that I can say is that I worked very hard for years on my race carving technique and in the past few years? I have worked very hard on being able to do non edge locked carved Short radius turns using high flexion as the release (essentially what we see being done on the video). The success that I have had off piste with this suggests that skiing that holds up in steep terrain using this technique is available to us all!! I do think that more than half the problem is solved when you know what to do and more importantly, what to practice so that one has the skills necessary to ski difficult terrain well.
