Skiing / riding styles creating hazards?

Here's some food for thought. Skiing and riding styles and the forces exerted into snow packs through skis and boards have become greater. The initiating or trigger event for an avalanche would logically increase as a result and lateral distances between turns is much greater these days. So is the speed and "'G's"we generate. Several recent close calls made me very aware that my older technique of tight fall line and short, symmetrical turns disrupted far less snow and did so with a much lighter "foot" My skis got wider, my turns a lot bigger, and running up the walls on some funnels or landing a jump have resulted in avalanches. These are in-bounds episodes so not some un-patrolled or back country incidents. There have been no formal studies of this but I'd bet a six pack there is validity. Farming a hill Heli-ski style is the answer ! Make tracks not trenches. Ready for my flogging, let it begin.

Just man-up and make those elevens.

Damn. Now you got me thinking. Screw it, I'm just gonna take the skis off and downclimb the slopes.

Wow, I'm so glad its not because I'm so much fatter,
But my skis are fatter, whew

interesting concept. Fat ski's sink less. Which is worse, cutting down into the weak layer or floating above it?

Junk science.....if that was true then telemarking would be the worst skiing style for potentially setting off avalanches since they are always falling on their heads therefore= your hypothesis incorrect.
