I am a switch person, maybe its becuase its 10x more fun to go down a hill switch, rather than regualr.
i mean hell, it looks 100x cooler.
what do u like?

switch feels natural, but shredding serious gnar forward is fun too.

switch carving is one of my favorite things to do, in the steeps its more challenging you have to look over both shoulders. maybe throw a butta or 2, ahh cant wait...

word. when im just skiing around, its switch like 80% of the time. its just so much more fun, and it dose feel natural to an extent.  

you gotta be aware tho, hitting things/people/skipatrollers  isnt all that fun.

Nothing like ripping some run switch, but also nothing like ripping some fresh courd forwards.

Both! Sometimes mobbin switch is sick, sometimes flying forward is just as fun. Either way, it's all about the almighty turn.

I prefer switch. I ski switch so much that my dad wants to buy twintips just so he can try it.

from the top of our home mountain we'll bomb it switch down the beginner run to the park.  We race and it's super fun.  We get real close and knock the other person over or hit each other with our poles, someone always eats it and it's the funniest thing.  It's also real fun to go fast switch and look back (not look over your shoulder, just stand) and watch everything go past you.  I go switch on Intermedite or below pretty much.
