Funny, the people that have ski technique defend it. The people with none or little laugh at it and talk about flow, lines and challenging terrain.

The non technique crowd say "what good is technique if you can't ski these rad lines"
The tecnique group says "what good is skiing those lines if you look like that"

My only point has always been the everyone will ski better with better technique. I view that as a given, almost tautological. Obviously some see it differently.

I view all of this (posting and reading forums) as something to pass the time when I am not skiing. At it's best one can even learn something or find a link to something that is great to watch. At it's worst it becomes a not so civil battle between ideologies and personal insecurities. This therad has headed in that direction.

I see no reason to defend my skiing. It is what it is with all of its good points and its flaws. I think we would all be better off and have more fun if everyone did the same. We all can't be the best skier in the world (and yes that is tautologically true!!).
