Wow. You can make perty lines on groomed snoozers. So can 75 percent
of the people on this newsgroup. <yawn >.

In earlier times actual film would have been wasted to record that. We
are indeed fortunate that only electrons were used to immortalize that
sequence. And HD space, of course. Anybody know how long youtube keeps
this stuff alive?

I would consider that kind of skiing on that terrain a failure for
myself. When I ski turns like that I try to leave two tiny thin lines
the entire way except for the few feet at the transition point from
edge to edge. But even that is pretty boring. 205's make it a little
more fun (and fast!).

Totally agree. Trying to make two infinitely close lines all the way
down the groomed snoozer is an exercise in vanity. A boring one too.

Well, pretty much anything you do down a groomed snoozer is an
exercise in vanity, unless you are a beginner, making it an exercise
in terror.

I would be trying to leave trenches in a trail like that, which, in
addition to being an exercise in vanity, also creates a hazard for the
inept and unexperienced. Some might argue that my skiing is more
"functional" than Itchy-scratchy's, but really it's not. I always
overcommit to the fall line, to my edges, to the carve, when really I
can get by with less. It's just so damned fun to be out of balance,
knowing you can pull it together with a twitch of your skis.

Don't you think it's nice that Itchy's found a way to get his groove
on? And that he's willing to share it with us?

We should all have such dedication to our personal style.

It is hard to determine the tilt on that slope. Given what I know of
his "technique", and the fact that he only slid the turns a few feet,
probably not much. But the turns that I had in mind on a slope like
Sunnyside at PCMR would have you going somewhere over 50 mph in my
estimation. A slope that looked pretty smooth develops some pretty
good rollers going that fast. The run also ends at the bottom onto an
almost 90 deg. turn onto a cat track. Which also added some interest
at high speed.

I guess I didn't go into enough detail. I was amazed that someone
would post proudly the tracks of such an intermediate technique. My
two thin lines also turned into trenches at the apex of the turn if
the snow was as soft as it appeared in that video.

The hardest part was trying to keep from getting thrown out of the
turn by the centrifugal force, and trying not to think about what
would happen if you did. Plus skiing all the time with bindings set to
handle that force.

I suppose it is. I think that the problem is the way he presents it. I
wouldn't have a problem if he had more of a "look at what a goofy,
unorthadox way I have found to have fun" attitude. But I think he
tries to present it as a possible alternative or actual legitimate way
to get the most out of your skiing. It just isn't.

> We should all have such dedication to our personal style.

I do. But mine works. If I was still slipping the flats like that
without the ability to ski it I wouldn't like it. I must say that
these days I do ski those runs that way when with beginners in order
to keep the pressure of wedging down that shit to a minimum. It hurts
to do that.

I confess that I have made nice knees-together tracks down a blue
cruiser when the conditions are right - quick snow, light traffic, and
fresh snow or untracked groom down along the lift line, and then check
out my tracks on the next ride up to see if they look as good as they
felt.

But I don't take a video and post it on youtube as if it were an
athletic breakthrough.

Re: Making lines

Hey, if we're posting pictures of lines, I have one.

This was last Saturdays run at Whitewater. Green line was our route
up, red line was our route down. The snow was (suprisingly for a sunny
April 28th day) very, very nice powder. Sunny, no wind, not too warm,
not too cold and perfect powder conditions.

The lines converge and then diverge, skis going all over the place. There's
smears, and then 2 lines where one ski was plainly weighted a lot more than
the other. I guess getting them to go at all on such a flat-looking slope
is worthy of note.

Yup, "except for the few feet at the transition point from edge to
edge" is what makes it boring, as separate the skis at the transition
is what breaks the flow of the skiing. Try to make two thin lines
together all the way next time; it is faster and more exciting.

And as the integrity thing goes, before you can make that line, you
may not qualify, for lacking of real experience, to comment it.

> > 205's make it a little

If you cannot tell the speed of skiing by looking at the lines/tracks
that the skier left behind, you are not there at the level we are
talking about.

Nevertheless, what do you mean by "fun" in skiing again?

Not sure if the conceited self blinded your sight or just you need to
learn how to read/trace the line first; there's no "diverge" in the
"line" shown.

A commonly used and and pathetic cop-out. I simply find your

unimpressive. You prioritize style over substance.

I'd much rather find my own way of getting down (and up) a line like
the one Armin posted above in this thread, rather than obsess over the
aethetics of my lines on a groomed snoozer. No matter what the lines
look like...It's still a groomed snoozer.

No, as I told you before,

"Boring" is only a subjective perception, and it reflects your inner
state of mind. And a boring mind makes a boring view, and boring views
make up a boring person."

> I simply find your
> incredible egotistic bravado about this ''technique'' of yours rather
> unimpressive. You prioritize style over substance.

Well, as I said, Taichi Skiing is applying Taichi principles to
skiing, and Taichi principles are all-inclusive (it covers everything
under the "sky"), so it is ultimate. The philosophy end of Taichi,
Unism, is beyond your comprehension, so I'm not going to waste my
energy to explain it. Nevertheless, the proof lies in those lines.

Taichi Skiing's techniques are developed based on Taichi principles
and verified with Newton's laws of motions; the "clean" lines show the
proof of the validity of the theories, as well as the techniques.
Maybe these techniques are "too good to be humble" to you gappers,
nevertheless, there's no ego involved. Your "unimpressive" only
reflects your own "incredible egotistic bravado."

It'll be more impressive if you can make down in "one" *clean
aesthetic* line down.

It is not a technique. You have done precisely NOTHING to prove
otherwise. It is trumped up grandiosity. Nothing more. No response
to this will disprove the FACT that your ''technique'' is utter fluff.

You may not be convincible, given your current egoistic mind set. Yes,
you need to clean that up before you enable yourself to see it.

And, you didn't answer this one, "what do you mean by "fun" in skiing
again?"

He's starting to warrant <plonk > status. I have seriously never come
across anyone so incredibly obsessed with his / herself.

In my view, regardless of the spiritual state of mind (or lack there
of), a pair of uniformly close (whether 2 or 12 '' from each other)
offers VERY little to the skiers ability, or skill on a pair of skis.
Obviously you have to reach a certain level...but beyond that (and I
think most of us on here are at that level) it's all just vanity.
People can "go fast" and / or "stick to the fall line" without
maintaining such unnaturally uniform tracks.

If you are comfortable with your tracks (on groomed snoozers) being a
little farther apart then Mr. Holier-than-Thou's...then keep doing
what you're doing. I would guess that you have significantly more fun
and ability on a pair of skis then he ever has or ever will.

I also agree that the degree of skidding in those tracks offers a good
idea to his speed, and it was slow. So the picture we have is a
vanity-obsessed man picking his way down a groomed trail (blue-most
likely). Not very impressive at all.

What you don't know is that the "vanity" is only yours.

Every skiing leaves lines/tracks/marks on the snow and the lines/
tracks/marks all reflect the skiing maneuver forces that acted on it.
And a clean, effective, maneuver force produces a clean line, and a
"clean aesthetic line," ultimately, reflects the "real" level of the
higher skiing. Yes, that'll be a "money" shot; have you seen the
commercials on winter gears lately?

Now, about the "obsession," yes, of course, as VtSkier put it
"addiction," that is one very important driving force in pursuing this
high level, perfection, of skiing. Without it, you don't go anywhere
in "real" skiing.

I don't see the need to plonk him. He's got nowhere near the volume
that trunkyjeff does. It is fun to open the group and see literally
hundreds of posts fly off of it. I simply do not usually even read the

His idiotic round and round without saying anything even remotely

Yeah! He's that guy that thinks knowing the line he wishes he could
make makes it so. I can see what he is going for but he's going to
have to learn to hold the edge through a turn and be able to mentally

Ahh... you don't know how to read the line?! Ok, here's some hint: on
the opening of the clip, there are two [obvious] lines in the picture.
The one on the right, which is straighter and consisted of two thin
tracks, is mine; see if you can trace it up. Btw, you may need a high

I see the sound of one hand clapping for the tree that fell alone in
forest.

Okay, really I think it's great that you can tie this to a higher
meaning
and all, but it looks like parallel lines to me. And when I think
"parallel
lines" I think of Blondie, and mostly Deborah Harry. So if you could
do this flat boarding thing wearing a blonde wig, then I could tie
this
back to my knowledge of early 80's music, but I'm not spiritual
enough to tie this in to the music of the spheres, or whatever it is
you
are doing.

OTOH, if you could post up some video of you doing the flatboarding
thing wearing a blonde wig and fishnet stockings, I'm pretty sure
everyone would totally groove on it. Especially Brittski, on account
of he's English and that whole country's culture is based on fishnet
stockings and blonde wigs.

What so funny? You even deny like Scotty.

When you bring up the Scotty style denial/argument, not that you have
already lost the argument, but lost your own character as well. Or
maybe that you've entangled with him that much, he really had a rub on

I actually did, it was perfect spring skiing condition, bluebird sky,

Your pathetic innuendo.

"When you bring up the Scotty style denial/argument, not that you have

For all those self-righteous displays, now you have to hide behind the
shield of "Scotty," don't you not sick of it?

See you tomorrow in your morning head-banging session.

See here Yabadabadoo, you're evading the question. Itchy has a very
good idea of what his "real skiing" is (or more correctly what his
notion of "Ideal Skiing" is, since that's what it is, an ideal, that
we all have in mind to aspire to in our personal skiing.) And he is
communicating it (perhaps insufficiently) but you aren't even making
the effort to describe your ideal, and until you do that you haven't
stepped up to itchy's level.

But even if you do, any notion of ideal skiing is a personal and some
would say vain notion. I mean I like my steez (my active aspiration to
my personal ideal of good skiing), and I like to show my steez under
the lift, and I like it when people hoot when I do that. Does that
make me vain? You bet. But hey, all skiing, unless it is racing, is
just figure skating without the pretty dress.

I suppose there are people who view skiing as pure functional
survival, but if they're doing that, they can't be very good can they?
I mean once you've survived the heinously steep, don't you want to do
it better the next time? and if you don't, shouldn't you just go
directly to the lowest common denominator, get a snowboard and spend
your days skidding sideways down the mountain?

So I say Hurray for Vanity! Hurray for "Real Skiing"! Hurray for Chai
Tea Skiing!

That said, I prefer to make my lines where they won't show--on buffed
out world cup quality hardpack. And while Itchy's skiing expresses the
serenity of tai chi, mine looks like pure hate. Who's to say what's
better?

Yeah but they also express a unique viewpoint that we won't get
anywhere else. My point is that we should encourage these efforts
and perhaps engage in them ourselves.

It has to be better than arguing about who didn't show up for what
opportunity to shriek like a little girl in the presence of whom.

Yes, you need the special "high power" computer to read the clip if
you lack of the talent to rise out of your low caliber motion
analysis, skiing knowledge, and poor personalities; it helps you to

dOOd. It was on YouTube. About as low res as it gets. DOS 5.0 on a 386

It's like Goyish denial except with matzoh balls and more guilt.

Has anyone besides me noticed that ChaiTeaSkiing's email address is
"The Dream of Butter"?

So we've got a butter-dreaming chinese skiing coatrack telling an beer-
swilling Aussie ski instructor that she has a jewish style of denial.
Only on the internets!

That actually made me fond of him until I saw it was the
dreamofbutterfly - which of course is another psuedo-spiritual load of
clap-trap and pish-posh.

If I didn't already have an anonymous cowardly unverified email address,
I would use the "dream of butter" or perhaps the "dream of bacon."

Ah, now I get it. You don't need a special high power computer, it's your

What is it a Jewish denial?

A common Jewish practice on the 'net forums/newsgroups when they lost
their arguments/bashing, instead of admitting their lost gracefully,
they would prolong the arguments by using malicious innuendos,
reinterpretation/misinterpretation of the subjects to redirect the
attentions away from their failures, and role-switch, which the losers
revert their stance to the opposite side and continue to argue as the
opposite side as themselves and themselves the opposite side to deny
themselves to see the fact that they have lost the arguments.

So you don't know it is your imagination that invents the "third eye"?

And you dealt with Scotty for such long time and you don't know his
tactic? You don't know your opponents too well, do you?

"What is it a Jewish denial?

1) That's not exactly Scott's tactic. If it were, he'd be arguing that
he was a huge liar and that he had had given Ant the lift tickets.

2) I'm going to respectfully disagree with your assertion that arguing
like that is even remotely a "Jewish practice." If anyone here was
using the technique you described then others would be claiming you were
some sort of humble, self effacing, skiing god and an excellent
communicator.

You probably shouldn't make sweeping statements about "Jewish arguing
practices." But that's just my opinion.
