Sleeper pow day at Mammoth Mountain. Woke up to 1-3 inches but felt like 3-5 in some spots. Scored some laps down Climax, Hangman's Hollow, and Paranoid Flats.

  • Yep, that was a good one. Not as good as a few days before (4/4) when there were endless windbuff "refills" on the top all afternoon, but as you say a sleeper.
  • I won't be there till July, those skis hold a nice edge in the ice!

    The shoulder movement is debatable. In Taos Ski Valley, which has one of the best ski schools in the country, the instructors teach for you to turn your shoulders into the turn, not keep your upper body always flush to the fall line.

    How do you like the BC Atris'? Nice clip.

    Try shortening your radius. Hit some of those covered rocks.

    Whole lot of cement!! Friends don't let friends ski in CA! I had to turn off sound, before I needed to get mouth piece.

    You need to turn more often....a lot more often!!
  • You're trying to turn with your shoulders too much by the looks of it, poor technique. Shoulders need to be pointing down the mountain at the fall line, all turning done by legs/knees/hips. Try taking a straighter line down the hill, shallower turns and more of them, just push your heels out feel the edges bite and then flick back the other way. I'm no ski instructor, but you're on the verge of losing control on every turn because of those shoulders.
