@AdamCord is a lot smarter than I am and he’s a lot better skier too, that I’m sure. I’m not sure how it can be reconciled or that it can.
What I am sure of is what I have been doing on my ski and on those around me and it has been working consistently. Do I know why? Nope, just tried it enough times to know that for me, and seemingly those around me it’s been a consistent enough formula to share for others to try. Will it turn out that this works for the mid range skiers and not for the beyond -39,5 skiers, maybe. I’ve only played with this up to -39.5 and I’m confident in what I’ve seen to that level.
Do I have perfect form? Nope. I’m guessing most don’t but that would a handy superpower.
