So I went skiing a few years ago and the lesson only included pizza and French fries, so when i was up on the bigger slopes (one of the easiest ones) I could not slow down and had a terrible time

[@brpixels]

Try getting into the wedge christie turns....It takes a bit of practise is all

[@pointeshoeperfect8268]

Barath I actually went skiing not long ago, and thank goodness the class then included a lot more than just pizza and French fries. I had a great time! I’m going again soon to try to learn parallel turning

[@headphonic8]

I'm a snowboarder, never skied and want to know why y'all have poles? I mean if you don't pole plant you cant link your turns or lose balance? What are you pole planting in powder? BTW the pole make you look silly

[@SuperAntichicken]

We're lazy and have bad balance, that's why.

Jeff Weissman skiers use pools to establish trimming, position weight and most importantly to not have to hop and grunt like an ape on the flats

Snowboarder, enough said.....

[@da1ewok]

In case a snowboarder cuts me off or plows into me with no regard , I have a quick weapon to beat them with.
