Yes, I'm on twins and yes I made it out of the turn.  The shot is on Lake Louise's downhill course.  It was a flat section but we were hauling!

I was a racer & bump skier first so I know how to use my edges.

It was the carve that I wanted critiqued, not the picture quality!

why are you on this site? If you want to continue to ski the way they did hundreds of years ago then by all means go ahead...Just because a certain branch of skiing is progressing in a new direction doesn't mean its a trend...and even if it is, tons of kids are having the time of their life doing it so I don't see the point in putting it down and calling it fake...

Make your shoulders square with the hill, bend your knees, push your hips towards the hill, and pick up your body.. ANGULATE. If your a racer you should know whats wrong with that picture

You're missing the point. Park skiing is just as much a part of the future of skiing as any other type. I've been "real skiing" since I was three years old and nothing makes me happier than ripping lines down gnarly-ass trails on a sick powder day, but saying park skiing is "just a trend" is stupid.

the hills too flat, and your right hand is coming across ur body a too far. It would look a lot better on a little steeper face.

i like when people know a lot about photography because it makes such little sense to anyone who doesnt.  like me.

6.3 sounds solid though.  6 3's=666.   hail satan.

HAIL SATAN.

HAIL THE KING!
