Didn't think about it befor, but noticed today that the kids in the terrain park on skis do ski with thier feet together. They do carve turns, legs together, not the old fashioned skid, skid turns. It's obviousely the style for thier niche of the sport.

You really have caught the bug. Next, is a room dedicated to ski stuff. Another few years and you'll try boarding again.....and then there's the Skwal, telemark etc.

I've recently bought some second hand twin tips for the dryslope and have found myself carving them with my feet together like the terain park santas. I'm not entirely sure why. I think the larger radius on the skis and the slower speed make it a lot more difficult to angulate to the same extent as I would on normal skis. You seem to end up stood on one ski with the other just there for company.

Hmm I have put alot of thought into this topic. While I am getting in the grove of a good carve I try to get my knees closer and closer but I seem to always end up on my bum. I prefer a wider stance. This may be "inexperience" and just a part of learning
Uh oh, I think I broke'd the lift
