What kinda skis do you have? If they are volkls, then you should probably give up because they are super hard to butter on. If not, just spin and lean forward a lot. Not really much to it.

the ski shop won't tighten it past where you are on the chart. you can use a screwdriver to tighten it. Where are you at now with your DIN, and how much do you weight?

That shit froze my computer when a buddy gave that URL to me saying 'zomg look at this shit it's funny as hell' and I replied 'well hell isn't funny and neither is this' because it froze my computer and I lost my homework assignment I was downloading from my email.

I weigh 135 and my DIN is at around 8, I believe. I suggest putting yours to 7 for now, and seeing how that goes.

i like how everyone assumes hes asking about the classic skier nosebutter.

anyways, maybe just practice stopping, but leaning out on your nose or tail pressed out the whole time, then try and spin around with it
