Great Video Liam...and I saw a lot of fantastic skiing in the video Heleva posted that was highly skillfull...I also saw alot of big toe edge, down hill edge dominant turns, it's just not at least how I would ski that run...certainly not that fast. BUT

Guys,...I really think we're saying there are guys that can and do ski lines that fast...certainly open lines or bowls make creating those kinds of turns. Those truly skillful can make them in the glades as well.

It's just not how I ski them...I'm more upright, relaxed for me and just making every turn mouthwatering in pow.

It's not that I won't let it rip in lines like in Max's photo it's just when the snow get's up above the boot...my approach changes...but that's me.

My hats' off to the guys that can rip like the video and the pics' anywhere on the mountain....BUT no doubt, all of us...receive great pleasure out pow skiing no matter what our approach.

We don't want to deter those interested in how to ski pow by demonstrating only one way to do it...like Bush, and many of us have said here...get your basics down on the groom and go play in the pow...bring YOUR best tools....just don't jump in my line!!! >:( ;D

Best,
