What's your biggest strength on the hill?

[hardline]

Perhaps my biggest strength is just being able to trust my instincts and technique and turn my brain off and just find my line without really thinking about it.

ah the tell tale sign of a flowmiester

 

[campgottagopee]

I'm just plain cool

 

[Phillycore]

ahahahahahahaha..that's very good conditions for the Poconos..

Another strength on the hill is keeping track of my runs for a mad steezy TR and an update to my vertical foot database. Most of my ski buddies who keep track of runs count on me to keep track of their runs as well..

I let GSS count the runs when I ski with him because I am skiing the same amount of runs as he is and I usually forget a few because we are bullshittin the whole time...Then when he calls it a day, I just ask him where wee were at and count from there till I bolt.

Can't count whore him this year though because he'll be at Blue and I'll be at Frost most of the time... That bites...



My biggest strength on the hill would be my steezy ability to yard sale with style and make people laugh

well said....for me, that's one of my favorite things about skiing - shutting the brain off and letting gravity do most of the work

Definitely works better when you do that. I always ski worse when I overthink everything.

NICE! I like positive threads...

My biggest strength is being able to visualize and pick apart terrain.. Make quick strategic decisions - through trees/rocks whatever..

I think it may be because i ski bumps.. Or used to...

I can get my self out of as much trouble as I can get into. So far.

 

[Trekchick]

Can you do this?

Um, no.
But I can do this.

 

[hardline]

Um, no.
But I can do this.

where's you other leg?

 

[thinnmann]

Picking the fastest line -

Both down the hill and onto the lift....

 

[2knees]

crashing in a spectacular fashion.

 

[billski]

crashing in a spectacular fashion.

my crashes are pretty pathetic. I'll usually fall when I'm standing aside waiting for someone, cruising on the flats or in the lift line....

 

[wa-loaf]

This

probably versatility

I wouldn't say I'm overly great at any one discipline, but I can ski just about anything.

this

without a doubt, my determination to pick myself back up once I've gone down and carry on with a smile

this

efficiency and versatility...I use as little effort as necessary for each turn

and this

Skiing variable/challenging conditions..like breakable crust, refrozen crud, thick mashed tators and death cookies. Bad conditions don't faze me..
