Some pretty ugly skiing, IMHO. What does this have to do with real skiing? Reminds me of how biginers go down the steeper parts of my home mountain....sliding, not skiing.

maybe you should embrace the drill so that you can actually ski woods with me and Erik next time your at stowe. using tipping as the only means of turning is great way to make a ton of the mountain unskiable by you or by anyone.
