  1. SuperQuad, 8:30, come along
  2. Gonna get out for a couple hours first thing.
  3. Check the weather. Possible wind holds Thursday. Snuck out for a couple hours today with @dhamann, was surprisingly good on the upper mountain. HB worthy. It must have gotten snow while I was getting drizzle at the condo. This will probably be the last good week for carving. weather.com for Carrabassett Valley: The forecast goes to shit for several days starting the 26th.
  4. Not trying to shut it down and I'm not irritated, it just feels like we're talking in circles and beating some dead horses. Of course you're welcome and encouraged to keep asking questions.
  5. I think it's time to go ride and try this stuff before overthinking it any more. Good luck!
  6. It has snowed 19" in the past 7 days. This has really saved the remainder of the season barring another premature meltdown. But it's drizzling now. Nights will be below freezing all week, so that will mean ice in the beginning of the week. 2nd half of the week could be good for carving after a few nights of grooming.
  7. Same thing. A.k.a buttering, slarving, slide-lock, etc. Benny Karl is the master here.
  8. Do yourself a favor and go follow Benny Karl, Sangho Lee, Ester Ledecka, Edwin Coratti, Andreas Promegger, and Cody Winters on Instagram. And watch World Cup on skiandsnowboard.live or Peacock.
  9. Actually nevermind, I don't know. I saw the title of the video and thought it was Jasey Jay Anderson. Then I remembered he's goofy.
  10. I would say they're cross-through. The COM rises up a bit and then the board crosses under it. The unweighting is done using the rebound of the board and allowing the knees to receive that motion. Pure cross-under is usually done in pretty rapid slalom turns. He's not coming all the way across the fall line because he doesn't have to. It's a pretty mellow slope and he's going for speed.
  11. As noschoolrider says, cross-under or through are going to serve you better on the steeps.
  12. Cross-over/under/through are names of different ways to change edges. Angulation is something you can do throughout the carve, independently of the edge change.
