After a night’s sleep to think about it( clearly not much going on in my life) ,I must issue a recantation of my self inflicted admonition of the term “jump switch “. On a non rockered, non twin tip racing or high performance ski, jump switch is the correct term to apply to a maneuver that facilitates a more rapid transition and edge change. It may or may not be faster in a race course, depending on course set, snow conditions, and other variables, but it sure is a hell of a lot of fun for free skiing. As an aside ,the old bromide that WC skiers stay on the snow for the fastest and most efficient way to ski is b.s., watch any race on other than a perfectly conditioned,non offset, impeccable race course with no under/delay gates or combinations ( which doesn’t exist on any level other than a NASTAR course). Certainly on the sections of any given course that allow it, they are glued to the snow.
