Yeah, they might be having more fun.
Long swoopy turns are fun. Short rhythmic turns are also fun.
I like rhythmic turns with a feeling of rebound.
Why is this so fun?
When you get a rhythm going, it's not just one turn after another. It's a continuous thing.
So, a series of well linked turns isn't like a counting exercise. It's more like an ecstatic state where the individual turns aren't the thing, the flow of linking them dynamically is. And it goes on like that until you stop.
Yess!! Like HE said! I just couldn't have said that but man I feel that one Nicely done sir!
I shared (and attempted to convert my children) to this obvious truth using your words Lowell and this is what they said:
"Dear Dad.
While we love you dearly and thank you for our very lives as snowboarders we outright reject your noodley eurotrash powder 8"s, 80's cop show hairdo and your retro style shitty skier universe.
Looking forward to seeing you at Easter. Lots of love J&N"
Well I just didn't have a response for that. Pass the turkey?

I could send a reply for you.
hahaha I'm sure. All in good fun! Kids! There is just no changing anyone's mind on this.
Last weekend as I was waiting in line for the Peak Chair to open on Whistler the first 3 skiers emerged at the top of Shale Slope and put in 9 turns top to bottom. Wow I thought where is the value in that? There's room for like 700 turns there or something. 60 seconds later a skier and snowboarder emerged and straight-lined the whole thing. No turns. My contemporaries assure me that it takes skill to do that.
It's just funny to me. Everyone is having fun! however they ride. That's what it's all about.

Instead of thinking like Lowell said... "I'm TUUURRRNNNINNNG!"
It's, "I didn't fall! hey! I didn't fall! Yes, again! I didn't fall!"
That's why it's so fun.
Also, skiing is dancing:
