Sadly I didn't get to ski with BB while he was here.

but I just wanted to add this move (foot squirt) has been something I have been doing with no real name since just after I passed my L3.
 
the ability to beat your feet to the fall line is huge in dynamic off trail skiing even if it means being slightly aft during the float phrase. A dolphin turn is great example of a very dynamic squirt turn. Basically it takes the squirt concept and adds the virtual bumps. Its a really helpful move to practice for bump skiing but makes recovering when squirt goes wrong much easier as well.

I've heard of dolphin turns.  maybe we need to develop a ski term glossary.
