Ski Diva Extraordinaire
This was posted by Snowhawk on an epicski thread about what to call pencil-thin carved turns, and given the regular conversations about carving on every skiing forums in the universe I thought it was very, very funny. I plan to put this on my wall and start referring to it when describing my skiing. I like the idea of tracking what percentage of my movement during the turn is sideways vs. straight.
But please, oh please, let's not get into the virtues/vices argument !!
Going Going
sideways straight
100% 0% downhill sideslip
90% 10% forward sideslip
80% 20% slippy
70% 30% sliddy
60% 40% slewed
50% 50% Skivy turn
40% 60% skarvy
30% 70% smarved
20% 80% sliced
10% 90% scarved
2% 98% carved thick rairoad tracks
0% 100% pure carved thin railroad tracks
