This demonstration video may appear to be a shameless promotion for Piste to Peak Volume #3. That's because this is the teaser video for it... so I guess it is! We'll document some more specific carving objectives in future posts, but for the time being this demonstrates a fairly broad spectrum of carved turn shapes.
Demonstration Objectives:
- Use the ski design (the side cut's self steering effect) to create various turn shapes.
- Leave clean tracks in the snow where the tail of the ski follow the same path as the tip.
- Show various corridor widths.
- Show various degrees of loading and deflection.
- Link turns from one arc to the next.
Outsmart your ski instructor and troubleshoot your own ski technique

Nice of you to say Geepers:)
As for P2P4… good question. We’ve thrown around some ideas a powder specific video and a training children program for parents… but I think the main priority now will be to build this website into a useful tool with a lot more visual and video reference… and perhaps begin inducting folks into the ‘Secret Snow Sliding Society’
