I said, 'but is he carving'. Was just referring to an old thread and trying to lighten the mood. By being forced in to explaining myself it sorta took the 'edge' off it though.

The main point of the thread was to post the picture which is pretty cool.

It sure is. The thread was going "downhill" anyway....

First off: Incredible photo! Thanks!

Sure, he's carving. :) Who says both skis have to be bent?

Also, does carving denote whether on is the "greatest?" I don't think so. Just like keeping your knees together doesn't make one good. So, what does make a skier great? Racing would seem to be the only true way to know. Covering a specific course with time as the only judge.

Carving seems to be a bitterly contested technique on here. Very interesting. I wonder if it has anything to do with the differences among nationalities? ;)
