When you are carving arc to arc on one ski at a time and going down fast, wide groomers, what is the best way to tackle the built in rollers / mounds on the trail?
Or perhaps, what are the two ideal ways to tackle them, one if your aim was to keep the maximum speed, and two if you wanted to keep maximum speed while being completely safe.
Do you try to finish your arcs (lower part of the C) before the crest and start the next one just before the fall off, or do you try to scrub speed with a skid or a scarce before the crest and then build it again on the way down, or do you get your skis flat then jump and land and then start carving again, or do you jump off while still carving on one ski, change edges mid-flight, and land on the other edge of the other ski?
