Style is different than "function", it's personal and has to do with "flexibility" , a certain way you hold your arms and hands and your body proportions. The biggest difference is flexibility. Diana and I rarely stiffen up during the curve of the arc, we continue tipping movements with appropriate counter acting throughout the turn and range of the arc..
On average would a tight jointed skier (athlete who is naturally less flexible) be quicker edge to edge then a lose jointed skier. Would there not be more stored energy from holding counter well flexing to release to produce a higher rate of vibration of turns (more turns per a minute) from a naturally tight jointed skier ? The more flexible skiers on average would they produce a lower rate of vibration (turns per minute) when free skiing but have higher edge angles due to the ability to have greater flexibility for more counter acting & counter balancing ?
