You can compare for days on end. But without video how do you know if one position is better than another? Unfortunately feel has nothing do with it (unless you happen to be at HH's level).

I think I disagree. I think most of you higher level skiers have a memory of the feel of skies you like, and like High Angles said, he often had a feel for a ski by the time he skates into the liftline.
I understand the mantra of not trusting feelings when learning, because the comfortable feelings are of invalid movements.
Trying different skis is a different ballgame.
