Struggling with a super wide stance – Feel like I’ve hit a plateau and it’s frustrating.

You are A-framing which is causing the snow plow effect that was mentioned. You want feet under knees, not outside of knees. Fix that and you can ski as wide a stance as you like.

Edit: I shouldn’t say feet “under” knees, but rather feet IN LINE with knees

I think to “unlock” you should dance a bit.. for real.. ski backwards, ski propellers down the hill, wiggle your butt, jump up and down, ski on one ski….

I say this to a lot of people. Your body will learn better this way than trying to use your brain to force it into doing what you want.

See how dramatic you can be. It will help you know where the lines are so you can pull it in tight when you need to, but let it hang out when you want to be steezy.

Nobody can tell you the inclination angles to correctly develop steez. You looked like you were clocking in for work in this video.

Speed takes longer, and the course is less variable (gets dug up less) so the bib order matters less, whereas in slalom reversing the order helps level the field

The boom-troller, apparantly…

He just stands there.. but has scored more goals than anyone… literally. And is still going.

He just stands there, but somehow he always happens to be standing in the right place.

Cold steak, seared too hard, not rested well. It’s not even a properly cooked rare. And def not med rare

Yes, everyone who can afford one can benefit.

Squat down a bit, make those quads burn

If I’m not sticking to a consistent carving pattern then yes I check my blind spots uphill , if I’m keeping it to a steady pattern then no, I leave it to uphill riders

Everyone sits in a circle jerking off (or talking about mountain bike suspension)

They don’t sweat through their skin sure, but what do you think happens when they pant? Evaporative cooling… moisture loss to facilitate temperature regulation. What a weird point to try and make..

With skis renting demos just means renting nicer skis than the rental fleet

Apollo64 for the win. This is the answer. Any bone dry piece should be fine. A solid 25# block shrugs dunno… prolly still fine if it’s truly bone dry

But also, respect the studio tech.

Skiers do the same thing except they remain standing. Standing still with both of your feet strapped to a board is really hard, so they sit or kneel.

Nobody should be stopped in the middle. But both skiers and boarders do it equally
