So.... I've always enjoyed messing around; normally on the lower grade slopes coming off the lift or getting to a run-out, of going switch (normally never mid-run unless I'm skiing with my wife or other newbies) .... anyone have technique or advice for that?
My only normal technique is that when going switch or returning to normal skiing I "flatten out" the base so I'm not riding on an edge anymore and then it becomes easy to spin either way.
I've never had twin tip skis (and thus the sweet rooster-tail) but even my normal skis (atomic crimson TI and prior to that Atomic Beta Ride 9.22) I've been fine going switch. The Crimson Ti's aren't that great though for arcing a turn backwards.
PS: This has nothing to do with being a park rat and landing switch ... more just general 'going backwards' technique.
PPS: Is switch possible on teles? Just occurred to me.
