Definitely needs to be a tool in the tool box but not one that needs to be used on the entire trail.

Agree...I seem to use it most often when skiing with my snowboarding friends as they strap in at the top of the trail & I just want to get moving down the trail while making sure I don't lose them. :wink:

Backwards wedge can be even more important!

I needed it last year hit a rock with one ski and it turned me around towards trees automatically went into a backwards wedge. Good thing about twin tips easy to ski backwards.

Did anyone say that?
I'll wedge when I feel it's necessary.
Won't feel like a mook doing it either.

To scrub speed in a narrow footprint I "swipe" the rears of my skis like windshield wipers. I'm sure there's a technical term for it but that's what I'm calling it now. That's a lot more effective.
Can't think of any situation I use a wedge.

Is this thread for new skiers...
Both new skiers and experienced skiers who like knowing that someone has their back if things get hairy.

Yikes! I think he was skiing Killington in May...Sasquatch. I guess being bald ain't so bad after all.

Yup, the day we were there there was a guy that was very furry skiing with no shirt.

I think that guy must be a spring regular. I heard some kids joking about seeing a bear in the woods and out pops this guy!
