Skiing with style and... without!

Yesterday World Cup GS in Beaver Creek was an awesome show mixing high-wire tricks brought to us by Alexis Pinturault and Body Miller, while Mr. Ted Ligety was winning quietly, by doing what he always does wonderfully well, skiing in the middle of his skis and controlling the ride down the hill instead of fighting it like most of his competitors.

I watched the event on Eurosport UK and the female commentator who didn't know what she was talking about was talking about the need for “attack” and “aggressiveness”. Ligety wasn't neither attacking or aggressive. He was just placing his skis into the right trajectory and following them to victory. The true essence of skiing!
