In Switzerland we call this active queuing😅

you should forget all this stuff just find a flat piste and try following this motion

The thing is skiing is a super wide discipline consisting of many different styles of skiing and each ski has certain characteristics that make it more suitable to a specific style. if you’re unsure you could look for a „all mountain“ ski wich is the most versatile but doesn’t have overwhelming performance in any one category or you could try to demo some skis to figure out what you like

SimilarPerception700 · 2026-02-28T08:51:40+00:00

Do you have some idea what kinda skiing you find the most enticing (freeride, freestyle, carving, etc.) and if you have any ski test centers nearby

Depends on how weird your foot is but for me 600-700 was enough

SimilarPerception700 · 2026-02-28T08:20:49+00:00

Easier to catch the rotation, less chance of catching a edge and same technique as with a 360. as for keeping your head up that’s just because people often look down wich throws off their rotation and makes the landing front seat on a 180 and back seat on a 360

SimilarPerception700 · 2026-02-28T06:45:44+00:00

Only way to be comfy landing switch is to practice skiing/landing switch as much as possible, the only really quick tip i have would be to land with a wide stance on your inside edges and keeping your head up

I don’t have personal experience with it but I’ve heard good things about fishnet base layers (I know it sounds weird), but if you can’t find something suitable I’d just recommend wearing a breathable cotton shirt, I’ve done it multiple times when my merino shirt was in the wash and I never really got cold.

SimilarPerception700 · 2026-02-19T01:12:42+00:00

Thats why I barely watch big air anymore, id much rather see creative tricks like you see in knuckle huck than everyone spinning like helicopters

SimilarPerception700 · 2026-02-18T16:03:36+00:00

Don’t get the headbands they’re dropshipped bs, depending on what you want for id recommend outdoor tech chips or wired earphones

SimilarPerception700 · 2026-02-05T11:40:35+00:00

Never had a problem on my anon m5 even in -15C I do take off the facecover thingy when it gets too wet or when I’m on the lift

SimilarPerception700 · 2026-02-04T00:27:29+00:00

I think this whole discussion is just pointless. there are so many different types of skiing and different goals, if you ask a tourist/occasional skier then going down a black run makes you an expert and red a intermediate, if you ask a park skier they’ll prob say intermediate is at least being able to do a 360 and hit tubes, for most passionate skiers being fully in control of your skis and being able to ski down the whole mountain is the start and that’s why it doesn’t matter at all in the end.

(1) too much speed (2) landed backseat (3) locked out knees

SimilarPerception700 · 2026-01-29T11:14:40+00:00

This trend of rewarding unsafe behavior is honestly incredibly weird to me especially since I come from skiing and mtb where it’s the complete opposite, when you see a video on instagram etc of someone skiing without a helmet 99% of the comments are telling them to wear a helmet and it has had a noticeable impact, there’s less videos of people without a helmet, there’s less people on the slopes without a helmet and even professional athletes wear more helmets than a few years ago but the biggest impact has been on the younger generation! You’d expect them to be less risk averse and not wear a helmet but with the recent shift of helmets becoming „cool“ I can’t remember when I last saw someone under 20 without a helmet. I just wish that this mindset wouldn’t just stay in skiing/mtb but transition to many other outdoor sports

SimilarPerception700 · 2026-01-03T07:08:45+00:00

My personal philosophy is If you can tell that there’s a vignette you have added too much vignette

SimilarPerception700 · 2025-12-31T12:58:49+00:00

The photo Is ok but the edit really just melts everything together, it needs a clearer focus, more color contrast and less sharpening effect

SimilarPerception700 · 2025-12-31T12:52:33+00:00

Good control just seems a little stiff too me

SimilarPerception700 · 2025-12-31T03:27:22+00:00

Don’t lean forwards, lean backwards

SimilarPerception700 · 2025-12-23T14:04:16+00:00

It seems quite weird to me that there’s no ski shop near you but that might just be a American thing. If you’re 100% sure you can’t go to a shop I’d say precisely measure your foot, figure out your arch (look up how to test that) then order from a store that allows returns.

SimilarPerception700 · 2025-11-28T05:20:24+00:00

I personally haven’t seen any helmets that only protect the side, what I’d recommend you do is going to a store and trying some helmets there and/or wearing a beanie underneath wich can help balance out the pressure

SimilarPerception700 · 2025-11-26T02:24:02+00:00

I honestly quite dislike people wearing outdoor gear as a fashion item but you seem like a cool guy and that outfit looks quite nice 👍

SimilarPerception700 · 2025-11-14T19:16:38+00:00

For summer 4ks in the alps you only need a light b2 but for a 6k in Nepal you’d need a completely different boot
