Whilst I realise that this topic may have been covered before I have a few questions after watching the Vol 2 Video.
1. Super Phantom Move - can this be described as simply an early release - ie you are getting a head start on the turn by balancing on the uphill edge as a precursser to tipping the free foot (downhill ski).
2. Weighted Release - can this be described as a more gradual release ie more of a roll to flatten skis and then tip. This would give a greater feeling of float as there is a moment when the skis are flat & pointing downhill.
Or am I simplfying things too much??
My real question is when should I use which move? I know in powder the weighted release is the go but what about moderate hills (eg blues) and steeps. In regard to steeps, I was taught (in a CSIA not PMTS) class not to point my skis downhill in steeps as I would pick up too much speed and basically hop or twist the skis around. So my 2nd question is what does PMTS teach in steeps (ie double blacks). This isn't covered in Vol 2.
Any help / comments would be great. Thanks.
