Exactly. Notice how the ankles are angled to provide the porpoising
effect leading to the next turn. Observe the easy flex in the knees, and
the steadyness of the hips as they remain open to the fall-line.
Consider the centered stance and equal weighting on the skis.

One picture is worth a thousand words, as it easily illustrates the basics.


(Show snorkle. A real snorkle would be two feet long and only the tip
would be visible. I suppose he can get away with a show snorkle because
the wide planks keep him floating high?)

LOL!! I'll have to dig up my old snorkel before I go to Utah.

Mike - Or would that be 'sno-kel'

Yahmon! We need to figure out how to turn our pixels into heli time!

That's good. That's very good.

I especially like how you captured in this single picture all elements
that so electrify the deep snow experience, particularly the snow-eating
grin and the "yeeha" echoing off the mountain flanks.

I can make out the tip of that two foot snorkle, too.

a 600mm should do the trick, hey?

Oh, wait a minute. I take that back.

Maybe a 1mm super-duper-wide-angle would be more appropriate.

For you guys, any lens will do: any pic you take will be of an asshole
