Hi everyone,
Based on reading through & digesting various discussions on this site, I've started to practice and adapt to transition-by-shortening-old-outside-leg style of skiing during my last couple of ski outings and I like it!
However, by reading through various glossaries and coaching discussions on the internet, I've come to conclude that the aforementioned style or technique pretty much equates to cross-through, or cross-under at the extreme, style as opposed to crossing over.
I've also read that each, cross-over vs cross-through/under, have their merits and disadvantages, and can be utilized under various skiing conditions or just for fun! Furthermore, I've come to realize that how I have skied for the past decade or so had been using the cross-over style.
Once again, I am really digging the experience of cross-through/under skiing, but I would like to know if disadvantages of cross-over skiing far outweigh the benefits under all circumstances? And whether or not it should be avoided all together?
TIA
