all i'm saying is that you wouldn't go into a jump forward in a snowplow. why do you do it switch?

I hadn't really meant to aim this at you, tim. it's kinda a problem with a lot of people. if it's brought to attention maybe everyone will stop and learn how to turn switch. i can't fucking stand to see kids snowplow anymore. just think twice when you speed check. you wouldn't do it forward!!!

I ratehr  do a gay speed check then land on my head at teh bottom of the landing because I couldnt lose enought speed  carving. Doign a switch hockey stop to loose speed sounds mega sketchy too when you still need a bunch of speed.

I,d say a quick  mini v shape to loose some speed is ok as long as you dont  keep on skiing in a  snowplow form for a long time.

so if you are in the tranny of a jump and realize that you are going way too fast you'd rather overshoot the shit out of it than slow down a bit... cause you know how to ski too well to be seen snowplowing.

No poles, standing in a downhill sloping lift line... snowplow stance becomes a must

Just stick one ski out a little farther than the other to turn incase you didn't know and then speed check (switch)...

i kinda like instructing $11.25/hour isn't bad imo. and 90% of my kids have been good, but it's only my first year.

i think the snowplow is underappreciated and if thrown correctly can be stylish in some way...

+in liftlines snowplow is gayer but much more respectfull for other people, i just hate people hockeystopping/sliding in the middle of a line.... fuck them!

man, i can ski switch great, but its just not effective for scrubbing speed between jumps. Especially places like breck/keystone where you land on the takeoff for the next.

breck and keystone are the homes of the worst offenders
