What are these "edges" that everyone is speaking of so fondly?

I run Nastar every weekend and enjoy it. Its fun to track yourself via the Nastar website. I would disagree with those who say its just a straight shot though. It all depends on who sets the course. Some weeks the courses are much tighter then others. This past weekend for example Camelback set a very tight course. It's 1 hour out of my afternoon then it's back to the bumps.

I've never seen anything like that before, Jens... the sides of my skis look like shark teeth. That's how I intimidate people.

I hear that's good in the icy back country.

No need for crampons! :lol:

That's called a 'ENE' pattern..

"Edge..No Edge..Edge..No Edge..Edge.."

generally speaking there is also a 'CORE' thrown in there here and there. Kind like duck duck goose, but with metal and ptex. :-D

I didn't want you to make me look bad so I gave you a handi-cap. C'mon, it was the only reasonable course of action.

The salt in the wound was cutting me off several times that evening. :lol:
