This not skiing or turning, but hacking your way through terrain that you do not possess the skill to actually ski. You consider this necessary because your skiing reality is such that you can't understand how to do it any other way. Just because you can't make your skis work on this kind of terrain does not make muscling them the right choice. Frankly it is a little disappointing to me when intermediate skiers pose as experts on topics of technique and in doing so mislead other skiers who are trying to open up their repertoire of available terrain.

Have you got some video of yourself skiing this kind of terrain in the way you suggest? It would really help me if I could see video as an example to learn from.
