Also the hill goes from crest to quite steep so the pressure on the nose seems to be decreasing from pic 2 to 3.

To quote/paraphrase someone's signature here "Trenches don't lie". No real difference between us. "Lots of spray" is subjective. Joerg Egli in a body dragging, edge grabbing, Pureboarding style turn is, for me, a good example of lots of spray and the turn not being cleanly carved. Example from around 3:25 to 3:40 in the video below, and the second turn clearly shows the squiggly "trench" left behind. Earlier in the video are lots of much more cleanly carved Pureboarding turns, short and with modest amounts of spray. @Calle loved your photo sequence.

Lots of spray is the mark of a board that is no longer carving cleanly. I agree - from the perspective of anyone who doesn't drag themselves through the snow like that it does look odd. The trick with spray however... is to kick up the spray, then turn back through it. In which case you could well be carving as you emerge from your cloud The other trick is to make one big turn, and count down to it so the photographer knows it's coming.

Emdee406 Posted April 24, 2019 Report Share Posted April 24, 2019 (edited) As you said @Jack M, especially is Spring conditions, the displaced snow has to go somewhere ps @Calle, love that sequence!

west carven Posted April 24, 2019 Report Share Posted April 24, 2019 howdy "any cat can make groomers, but only god can make powder" … I know, hammer helmet, but it got pushed down from my hood on a deep toeside turn and notice my bent ladder on heelside … it was a bluebird day … I made it snow … haha … and yes it was a clean carve ... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davekempmeister Posted April 25, 2019 Report Share Posted April 25, 2019 (edited) skier buddy of mine is back there getting the cold smoke screen. we trade shots. when i am near the lift unbuckling he usually gets his revenge. also, this is 5 years ago - i always wear a helmet now. as time passes, i find it hard to believe that i used to be so sure of myself.
