I'm baaack!  Yes, this is what were bantering about last season. This is really where the problem lays, the novice to intermediate doesn't have the skills to feel the ski and adjust the edging and timing of the turn when skiing on a wider ski, the advanced skier can overcome and adjust to this if the have the skills. I still think there are so many more self proclaimed expert skiers who simply stand on the ski and tip in a more passive way, a combo of old school and some new school edging. These skiers will see less of these delays however due to the lack of angulation and aggresive edging. This is where you see so many saying that the wider skis are so much better. If you don't have the skills to get out and over, it won't make that much of a difference. In general, the tighter the turn, the more lag time, big sweeping GS turns are not the issue.
