JB,

A major treatise on skiing 3D!

A question for clarity, when you refer to the "bulletproof short radius turn", my belief is that this is the "linked, brushed carve" PMTS technique and not a pure carved turn. If so, then "terminal velocity" would be reached when the resistance provided by the skis turning would offset the gravitational pull down the hill.

So, at my home hill, on a green trail, I work on linked brushed turns and just can't exceed a certain speed. When I try it on steeper terrain, my technique breaks down and I begin accelerating.
