Ron: I'm not going to get very far into skiing training, but I believe "forewardagonal" has a big role. I fell at Harb camp last year and Max complimented me on what a good fall it was. When I asked why he said "because you really committed your body down the hill, you just didn't have all of the other things in place to balance." That commitment down the hill is what I think of as forwaredagonal. I don't find that this leads to torque or washing out the tails (but not going to argue with BB), just creates an early tipping in the direction of the turn and good forward pressure on the skis. A bit of counter towards the outside of the turn helps to keep the feet from wanting to rotate the skis.

A double pun?? Using your own forum name in a sentence along with the rocket science pun. Very good (for an engineering type, especially).
Here's some rocket science for you. I beleive the thunderstorms and tornadoes in the midwest yesterday are being made worse by explosive oil vapors being carried up from the gulf coast and then ignited by lightning. There have been reports of blue aura's around some of the lightning, and the release of the extra heat has been causing the even more dramatic than usual super-heating of the air, and it's the rising hot air that creates the supercells and the dramatic hail and cloud rotation that spawns tornadoes. At least, so thinks the Kansas boy.
