BearsOnKetamineWhen someone says they’re a strong skier is it confidence and control or physical strength. Because I don’t see magnus with me olympia legs
DeebieSkeebiesI think its equal parts of all three; confidence, physical strength, and control. The most impressive part about strong skiers is how they can control the energy without getting bucked or looking extremely loose and scary.
Young_pattyIt means they can do K-feds AND rip a phone book in half.

ButteredToast.Precisely this. A strong skier will wield gravity and the speed it gives them with control and poise that others don’t, in all kinds of conditions.
They can read the snow and react at high speeds without losing control or balance - they will spot the mogul gap over the ice pit, spot the bump in the carve and absorb it, see the ice and set an edge accordingly.
Even when they can’t anticipate and hit unexpected bumps or icy patches, they adjust without looking like they might fall.
”Strong” skiers have a fluidity to skiing. They have developed their own style after mastering all of the basic techniques. You can tell them apart just by watching them ski for even a couple seconds. They don’t think - they just do.
DeebieSkeebiesYeah basically we just described the IFSA core judging principles too lol while we're at it. Ive seen a lot of good skiing this season while coaching juniors but the judges most certaintly have been rewarding the skiers that have been doing what you said above. No one likes to see people skiing shit thats a bit out of their element or sending things bigger than they should to show off. Ive seen a lot of riders this season do big threes in their runs and hipcheck slightly only to get beatout by someone who came flowing down the mountain.

DeadBStrength is 1 thing, but is always second to Wisdom. Don't be a strong skier be a wise skier, Rembmer to always plan ahead. A strong skier will charge in head first with no plan of attack, these are the skiers who get injured. A Wise skier will stop and watch where the strong skiers fall, and set their plan of action avoiding the potential hazards. Strong skiers are always inferior to Wise skiers, I concider myself to be a wise skier. I wear proper equipment first of all. saftey gogs, 2 mips helmets 1 for backup. Afternoon snacks, I try to prepackage a charcuterie board into ziplock bags which I bury at a set location in time for lunch. To be uncovered and eaten when the time is eating time. I See people in the doors, they speak to me in a forewign dialect which I can't properly distinguish yet. But once I understand/ then the time is right for me to pass beyond.. I've been studying alot for this moment, to pass beyond. To gain an eldritch wisdom unbeknownst to mortality. i will join the people in the doors,
