Ron, I kinda almost agree with you....(and this may open up a completely new topic)

In the crud, I feel you need to control speed, flaten the skis between transition in the course of moving your body down hill. But not rushing this transition. The other part is finishing each turn with the skis across the moutain or back up the hill depending on your need to control speed.

I believe learning to float your skis (flat in transition) is key to all mountain skiing.

Rapid fire edge changes (with less time in float) can be used on less step terrain in low crud...but when the terrain steepens and the crud deepens...float the boat baby, float the boat!

Hey John, thanks for weight update....so what is it you really are trying to accomplish with your ski selection....a bit confused.
