Straightline

I figured out why, when I encounter a long & steep chute; or an open bowl full of crud and mank, I cannot turn. I always seem to straightline anything and everything. It has become somewhat problematic. I find myself lapping trams in a matter of seconds rather than minutes. Nobody wants to ski with me. I have finally gotten to the bottom if it all. The reason being, nobody ever taught me how to turn. Here is the proof:

That is me in the foreground and my sister in the background.
Here is another for your enjoyment. You will notice my style has stayed the same. Wide stance. Arms fully extended (to improve balance and increase the chance of flight).

what's wrong with straight lining ?
if this kid brings his skills to AK we're gonna see a whole other level of skiing going down !
 
straight lining can be so fucking scary sometimes though! but I do love to straight-line a small chute then just rip a few big carves over the crusld
