Well, when you tried to bash my ex clinician friend's skiing that's dead give-away, your arguments are still centered on theme "other's skiing bad, and mine is good..," bickering at skill level is the lowest class of debate. For a L2, you're lack of higher/philosophical insight on what high level skiing has or tries to achieve. You're a good bumper, but the skiing is more than just bump skiing. Yes, I ski every day, so skiing is major part of my life, and there's more terrain to ski and higher spiritual enrichments to life to pursue. Your bashing me is not appropriated. I am pretty bored to talk about "skiing" in this forum, you gappers' conversations lack of substance.
如 snowrider 說,我有帶他入個樹林,
Skiing trees is not that "difficult"; it is the "spirit" venturing into the unknown that counts. People come to ski with me always want me to take them into the trees, they like my "lines."
Good powder skiing, but not from this season, I don't think: 1) Burnside (where skiers skied among dead trees at the beginning) is not opened, tree skiing is opened only about a week ago, and we ain't got any "powder" condition until now. Yes, it is snowing hard outside my window right now.
Went skiing this morning, was hoping to catch some fresh powders that have fallen the night before, but, well, that a foot of freshies is not powder but a foot of "cement." The highest chair "Sky," which is the only way to "ski" to Nevada side, and Canyon chair both are on windhold wouldn't help the situation neither. The highest point we can go is Powderbowl, so it is crowdy. The high water contents make the snow very compressible, so on the trails, the snow has been compressed into a sheet of ice, not icy, yet, you cannot carve on it, or slide on it, and in the trees, the snow has been all chopped up, no fun to ski, so I came home. Nevertheless, if you are a bumper, you're in luck, lower gumbarrel is opened for the first time this season, the moguls are building up fast, you should have a ball.
Who is Powdork?

pku 寫:Skiing wide open trees like you did of course is easy
Well, my buddy's tree skiing is never easy, especially, he has a nasty habit of skiing through narrow tree gaps and quick drops, and I can match him pretty much "turn for turn." That's what I've called "the fun of skiing," and we had a great time.
I wasn't picking a fight with you neither, just saying what I've perceived as a“高手”‧ By the time one reaches L3 、 L4 levels one should have learned, at least, "know of," all techniques in skiing already. The question is not whether or not he or she can use a particular technique, but how he or she would apply it. A “高手”should be competent, confident, and comfortable in all his or her skiing environments. Here's the story how I found out my buddy skiing better than I.
I met my skiing buddy through skiing, years ago before no-pole skiing even fashionable, so we naturally felt odd about each other. Nevertheless, after a few runs in, we found out each other's skills and strength, we started to ski together; to be frank, he was/is the best skier I have ever skiing with, so I poked, and asked him the back ground. And he told me that he was a PSIA clinician and retired from teaching skiing, and he turned no-pole skiing when one time he hurt his shoulder and couldn't use his poles, so he started to ski with no poles. After his shoulder healed, he found out he liked to ski without poles better, he became a "no-poler." We ski with each other well, so we became skiing buddies.
Though he can carve better, and knows a lot of PSIA "drills" than I do, but I do have my own strength as well, I can ski "turn for turn" with him, so I didn't classify him as a "better" skier than I am. Then one spring day he skied a way really opened my eyes, he was a better skier than I was. It was spring snow, so the snow was kind of "warm and fussy"/"manky." When we ski together, we usually alternate to lead, and he led the first run, through trees, I was tracing behind, and his "line" was "nice and smooth." Then, I led the second run, and I was kind of following his "line" in the same environment, but I felt my skis/snow sticky/澀, then I realized that he skied a better "line," so he was a "better" skier than I was. Guess we do have a different idea about what is a "better" skiing and/or “高手”, and that's why I'd like to see Akiko's video, for comparison。
