I raced for 8 years, yes at the F.i.S. level, and lived in Colorado my whole life. I've skied some gnarly shit, so if you want to know how to ski stronger, drop that gorilla bullshit. If your skiing up to a hit or rail, then it adds a certain style, but its not the form you want to have attacking a steep face. first of all, it gets you skiing on your heels, which is the opposite of what you should be doing. Forward pressure on your boots. hands forward. You don't have to have big ellaborate pole plants if you don't want to. All it does is set rhythum. But it keeps your hands forward which keeps you forward in your boots, which makes you a better skier. Just remember, don't ski like a park rat out of the the park, it does you no good.

After about 15 minutes it stopped buring and i forgot i had it in, then i accidently swallowed some. I couldnt stop throwing up for like 2 minutes, i couldnt breathe. it was horrible. The bottle said to call posion control immediatly but i turned out ok.' -DFT1080

I'm not much or a hardcore skier, but I suggest doing whatever is the most fun for you. Who cares what others think, you're on the hill to have fun for yourself. If you're trying to become a better skier (which is never a bad thing), I would suggest following pakskiers advice. He seems to know what he's talking aboot.

hmm you dont wanna ski like a racer fag but you want to be good like jon olsson...hmm he races..a racing stance realy helps with all aspects of skiing, there is nothing wrong with having a racing stance. most of the skiers i know ski with a racing style and they are the best skiers i know.

I don't really care what anyone else said.

Frankly ex-racers are right now the best damn big mountain skiers out there. Racing teaches you to go fast and gives you the ability to cope with the fear of competition during big mountain events. Anyone who disses racing has no clue what they are talking about. Same goes with moguls. Most of the top pros come from a racing or a mogul background, so you can't talk shit about them.

Skiing is skiing, do whatever makes you happy, ski however you want, whatever works for you. Keep it fun and cut the 'it's the cool way' bullshit.

ya what paksi said, doing gorrila steez big mountain skiing will only put you on your ass and off balence. being forward and having a strong pole plant is key

i agree with the above statements. gorilla steez on big mtn??? just because you have proper stance on open terrain doesn't make you look like a racer, it makes you look like a good skier. furthermore, you will have a better time. the more i think about this, the more i hope that the first comment in the thread is a joke...

gorrilla steez big mountain riding would look so gay, it wouldn't even be skiing, doing it in the park is ok but why would you want to ski a steep face like that, you wouldn't be near as powerful in your carves and would have no control, as well you would look like a complete idiot.

i have to agree with whoever said that most of todays best skiers came from a racing or moguls background, because thats true. they are more technical and aggressive because they had to be when they were racing or doing the bumps.

im pretty sure if you ski balanced in your boots with your weight forward people arent going to be like 'hey he's pole planting, he must be a racer, lets get him'

i kinda find it wierd that you would say that just cause someone is a racer that they will pole plant free ski, i compete at a F.I.S level and i will only pole plant in G.S and above if im getting put back seat and need to get forward again, and i know this also goes for most racers too, slalom is the only event when a pole plant is crucial, but this doesn't matter cause your a retard and try to make your self feel better by dissing racers

I suggest getting some Smith Z bends and dragging those gorilla knuckles on the face of your turbo mountain. Lean your turns way over in your chimp fashion but at the bottom of the hill make sure you dig the banana out of your pocket for the long lift ride.

dude, does Seth Morrison look like a gorilla on his lines?

just take a right at the 4-ways, then over the yellow line. If the man with the red hat says anything to you, just tell him that dw sent you. The secret password is 'coo-loo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coooo'.-dw
