Its important to note that many skiers that say they tip to turn also use other movements (counteracting for example), and when put together no active rotary is needed to have the skis swing right around. Eric D. has pubicly stated as much and he is an amazing off-piste skier!

Active rotary movements are not a requirement for expert off-piste skiing.

you, harold, Eric D, could not ski the off piste terrain I am talking about without active rotary. I have yet to see any proof other wise. There is a chute that I am sure would kill people if they did not actively twist their skis.

at 3:50 in this video, 50 degree pitch, about 190 cm wide, with a 30 foot cliff to flat waiting for you underneath if you start a slide for life. I would dare anyone foolish enough to not turn their skis to try.



though out the video you can see active rotary being as well you can see when tipping used alot(like at 3:20) used and both offensive and defensive skills are used to make this skiing possible.

here is a picture of the chute from near the top of adam's apple showing its pitch and terrain from a 3rd person.



to sit here and keep denying any rotary usage is really making your argument look weaker and weaker.

to finish the biggest key to off trail skiing(or any skiing) is embracing all moves we can do with our skis to ski the maximum amount of places. to limit ones self to a 3 of the 4 skill will leave serious gaps in your skiing and what you can ski.

I personally HATE skiing this chute as every time its IMO a risk to get down. The deal is its the quick way to 2500 vertical feet of the some of the best tree skiing anywhere.
