Thanks, Can you give me couple examples about your suggestion around 78mm?
There are too many suggestions already in this thread.
Tell the community what it is about your carving needs improvement. Here are some questions that, if you answer them, should give these people a better sense of what ski would suit you best as you work to improve your carving.
1. What movements do you use to start your carved turns? Can you be specific? If not, that's OK.
2. Are there movements that you are trying to purge because they mess up your carved turns? If you don't know, that's normal. If you do know, what are they?
3. Do you ever hang onto your carved turns until the skis are arcing uphill, with tails following tips? If yes, do you have difficulty starting the next turn when you do this? If yes, do you know what you need to work on to eliminate the hitch in that initiation?
4. Can you say something about how you handle the top half of your carved turns? That's the part where the skis continue across the trail in the old direction, but they are now on the new (downhill) edges. The top half ends when the skis point downhill. Do you do anything during this short phase of the turn that is specific to making a carved turn, instead of creating a non-carved turn?
5. Can you imagine terrain or conditions where short turns would be to your advantage? If yes, where would you use them?
6. You sound committed to speed and its thrills. Have you considered signing up for race training? Race courses are separated from the general public to protect recreational skiers from racers who miss a turn and go speeding off in unexpected directions. There can also be netting on the side of the trail to protect racers from trees when they miss a turn and head off towards the woods. Speeding down crowded trails can be a thrill all its own, but ....
7. Are there pitches or snow conditions that you are not sure you can carve yet? If yes, what are they? Do you know yet what you'd need to do to successfully carve these conditions? If you don't know, that's fine.
8. It sounds like, although new to skiing, you are passionately devoted to it. Welcome to the club! That's why the rest of us are here to talk about skiing, when for many of us the season's over. I'm jealous that you ski at Mammoth. Enjoy that long season.
