I think in the US it's common now not to teach snow ploughs which seems odd to me but they have some reasoning behind it.
I'm sure I read somewhere that in the US, learners are not taught the skill of traversing.
I was surprised to be asked if I could traverse by Snowcrazy when he was leading us off piste in La Plagne.
For me it's one of the basics.
actually wasn't that me? on a steep traverse in Tignes? I'm never sure if people have confidence when it's steep although I recall we were mostly over it before it struck me to ask.
