How many readers agree with the tip above?
Max,
I will chime in, but you already know which point of view I am coming from.
Foster's "platform" with weight on both edges may work nicely with nice soft snow and no bumps. Change the conditions to hardpan/ice and any weight on the inside edge (beside side loading) can be a quick trip to the backseat, majority of weight on the inside ski and out of control.
The "platform" appears to facilitate "park and ride" type of skiing. Don't see much leg turning except to initiate the hockey stop.
Not a tip that I would agree with.
