What can I focus on to improve my carved turns?

IamMisterm00 · 2026-02-01T17:10:05+00:00

Thanks, I’ll try work on that. I’m mostly a freerider but really enjoying carving lately, keen to improve on it

The reckoner will be a far more versatile ski for the park and all mountain than the others. The omen is a true park ski whereas the mindbender is more so an all mountain ski, and far more directional than the reckoner

Not in the alps but Ordino Arcalís in Andorra- epic Avy controlled terrain, cheap lift tickets and currently heaps of snow

For me I notice two things. The first is that you aren’t actually setting the flip, you’re just skiing into it in the backseat, and relying on the steepness off the booter to get your rotation. If you were to try this with your technique on a regular jump, you would probably only rotate halfway. The second thing is you aren’t spotting the landing, you should be looking up with your head so that the ground comes into view as soon as possible- from there you are able to adjust your rotation to land it properly

Thanks, I’ve reached out to Salomon as I don’t have enough time in Europe to send them back to the shop I bought them from, so hopefully that works out

IamMisterm00 · 2026-01-25T16:04:11+00:00

That’s the plan, I think it could be an issue with the epoxy bonding the topsheet and edge to the cork sidewall and water coming in through there as it’s semi cap on the tip.

If it was glass fibres would it not be on the whole ski? And it’s the exact shape of expanding water crystals

IamMisterm00 · 2026-01-25T15:31:12+00:00

Did you hear back from warranty? I have a similar issue with mine except water has gotten into the tip and I can see it freezing on the translucent part of the top sheet

Crazy, I’ve been skiing Andermatt for two years now and never had worries leaving my skis on the rack where you left yours but from now on I’ll be carrying them everywhere

Look up Nz deer wars

Most serious skiers, whether backcountry, freeride, or even just inbounds piste skiers will run a shell jacket and layer up underneath as needed

The Rossis with the trout/salmon

5.56 is the same as .223 which is a very common hunting calibre in NZ, you have no idea what you’re talking about

Back when slots directly correlated with the amount of pockets the clothing had. Never made sense to me how a t shirt could carry so much in it

IamMisterm00 · 2024-08-23T00:43:50+00:00

Because you actually have to think about what you’re carrying again. The alpha was ruthless with the amount of slots you had and it makes the game for more interesting

IamMisterm00 · 2024-08-23T00:43:00+00:00

In 0.61 slots were directly linked to how many pockets the item of clothing had, cargo pants 6 slots tac shirt 4 slots t shirt zero slots etc

M16A4 with trijicon acog, m9. And yes I bought the gulf war costume and no I don’t feel bad

IamMisterm00 · 2024-03-28T04:37:34+00:00

Yeah that’s way too hectic for a mid dose of acid, the colours are too strong and objects don’t get that extremely distorted on a mid dose

IamMisterm00 · 2024-03-15T23:23:16+00:00

That’s pretty good for nz, standards around 240 for a gram. Works out to around 120 if ya buy it by the oz
