Alot of rotary. And you're right about the learning process. And about it not being the ski but the skier.

Which kind of contradicts what you said about carving skis. Which is kind of correct nonetheless.

Anyway, I think sometimes people talk about their equipment too much when it's just a matter of getting out there and turning whatever you have on your feet. Skis today are SO much more technically superior to what we had 15 years ago that I have to laugh when hairs get split.
