Ron, because these skis pivot turn on a dime you can ski really tight trees and go a lot closer to them without fear. This is one of the huge benefits of the ski. To answer your other question, yes you can bounce with the skis to get them into the snow. You really can do whatever turn shape you like with them and GS Turns are just as easy as powder 8 type turns. When you ride the skis at speed you are much higher on the snow than you would ever be with traditional powder skis. In deep snow they don't feel too much different than traditional skis, just a lot more easy to manuever. It's in the chop that you notice the biggest difference. There is nothing to push against. You are above the undulations. This is a very different experience.
