i can't believe no one has mentioned this yet: tanner is not the only one skiing like this. if you have been paying attention to everyone, you would see the number of pros skiing like this, such as turpin, dash, pollard, rinfret, c.r., just to name a few. it's just a natural way of riding down the hill that doesn't make us look like we have 'aspen ski instructor' form when we ski. it's kinda the same stance you would have on a snowboard, knees bent, arms hanging loosely, back hunched a little. it just looks and feels smooth. it's the way we are progressing...
