I have a video and will hopefully get it put up today. ?

When its that deep and steep, tipping more than a inch or two is more than enough, what's more important is keeping the body in the fall line and continuous pole plants moving into the new turn, just keep the skis pretty much 55/45 with a some space between the legs to allow absorption and varied snow on the landings between turns.... ?Yeah! I learned a "floating turn". ?In deep steeps, you just make a long reach towards the new direction with full entension of the body and you would literally fall about 8-10' into the next turn, a bit of flex into the next reach and extension. It was the closest thing to flying..... Some of the video has it.
