I’ve talked to my wife about your proposal, she said leave her out of it, but she was perplexed, said, “I’m sixty-five old woman, he wins me, 沒面子，輸了更丟臉，“What’s his point?”and I kind of agree with her, she is neither a bumper nor a competitor, and has no interest to exhaust herself to win a fake fame. I can sub for her, if you are interested it.
snowbender 寫:And you can say anything negative you want, without facts that only makes you a shameless slanderer. “Awesome” is your word.
The reality is you ski ugly, awesome is a word that never apply to your skiing
snowbender 寫:No, “fifty seconds glory” doesn’t count much for me, and your powder and trail runs are “ugly and slow” (does that sound familiar to you?) And I’ve learned another fact from you whistler group/弱慢族, as gappers in general, you gappers responding my posts without reading my articles or videos, just shameless say things negative, pure bashing, “without facts that only makes you a shameless slanderer.”
Here’s one of my powder run, see if you can “recognize” “link turns with rhythm on powder”?
How long a FIS racer finish a course, not much more than 50 second. Your clip is long and boring because you are not actually skiing down You are shopping around.
snowbender 寫:And no, I don’t generally do short turns on moguls, too tedious, and tiring, but I don’t have problem to ski with you “turn for turn” with your short turn.
snowbender 寫:And even “only turn better on easy groom like trails” is better than you cannot ski smoothly on trails.
I ski very smoothly everywhere that's not steep. I ski quite smooth even on steep. That lady is skiing one turn and then another turn. The connection between turns is not good and also she turn too rush, cannot connect the energy from one turn to another. Outcome is, she ski very slow.
snowbender 寫:Yes, I enjoy the thrills of “speed,” bumps and moguls field don’t generate that kind of speed. And at my age I cannot affort a misshap, so on the difficult terrain I always ski like “如臨深淵，如履博冰”；Kamikaze style skiing is neither skillful nor good.
Skiing flat terrain fast is easy, good for low level skiers who cannot ski fast on steeper runs
Skiing bumps fast need very accurate timing and very good balance. These two thing for sure is not in your skiing
snowbender;35054 寫:What you call “traverse,” I call it “going places.”
What you call “traverse a lot on bumps,” I called it “long radius turn across the hill and Wedeln over bumps, and that’s my “style,” and my style reflects the terrain and the beauty of the natural forces, which act on our human body. How I “feeL’ is what I ski for, not how I “look,” and my groom runs illustrate that point. You have a narrow view on “skiing.” Nevertheless, do you say this run is “easy groom runs, trails”?
You are shopping around on bumps, try to find a easy spot to turn.
When I talked to my friend who ski Heavenly almost every weekend about olympic downdill, he said it's too flat and it's too easy to ski fast on flat. No meaning, waste time.

One runs on Gunbarrel from top of chair to bottom of chair .
One one on Ellie's from top of chair to bottom of chair
One run on Olympic downhill, I'll try to check the map and see what's the best spot to start and where to end.
The forth one, I skied the Ellie's less than 10mins then I win]
The devil is in the details; the first three are fine, we can figure out the details later. But fourth one is too easy for you. When I said you need more time to break than her was referring the conditions she was skiing in—upper sky expressline and over a foot of powder. Such conditions may not exist when you come.
[ame=""]Whitecrane Skiing: Upper [sky] Expressline to Ellie’s, Heavenly on a powder day - YouTube[/ame]
Ellie’s is one of longest black trail in Heavenly, rocky and steep, it is only groomed when the bumps become too bad, so it is bumpy most of the time. Normally, she can finish in 6 minutes.
and I did it in 3+, if you want to race on that trail(groomed or bumps) I can accomadate to that. Oop, I saw you already cover that, then you need figure something else.
$250.00 each run, provide visibility is good
For low visibility, the one skiing there everyday for more than 10 years got huge advantage
I'll ski a bit by myself for 2 days before we meet
Chinese downhill is everything counts and everything goes. You just have to pray that weather and/or snow conditions on the racing day is in you favorite. One more bit of advice, on a icy day, Ellie’s is almost “unskiable.” You may want to practice on that when you are here.

我相信這個對PKU不是問題，只要不是沒有雪，無饅頭、無無聊地形，他都很樂意的。

Of cause, your “ugly mind” remains yours, and your ugly mind may not know what “awesome” is.

We were not in the FIS racing, and our clips were “recording,” not “movie,” so it is all “real.” What you call “shopping around,” we call it, “ski the equal gradient lines,” you probably don’t even know what it is.
I ski very smoothly everywhere that's not steep. I ski quite smooth even on steep. That lady is skiing one turn and then another turn. The connection between turns is not good and also she turn too rush, cannot connect the energy from one turn to another. Outcome is, she ski very slow.
That’s what you say, not what I see; no need to brag, we would find out the truth soon enough.

Not sure if you got those ideas right, Taichi Skiing, ski like water flows, is always find an easy way out, so the skier can use minimum resource to achieve a maximum result. You ski too hard for your macho images, you’ve missed all the elegant and graceful skiing.

Maybe just you and your have a boring/narrow view on skiing? Olympic Downhill is so called is because the first world cup downhill race was held there; of course, some gappers always think that they are better then the world cuppers.
