The ever evolving ski technique

It seems that ski technique keeps on changing because of the equipment we use, because of our changing tastes and abilities over time, because also of the ski mountains we go to and the terrain we crave.

Of course, because of all the fads that mark the ski culture. As an example, carving could be one of them even thought it's not an all-encompassing solution to skiing.

All this means that a skier's needs are constantly affected by the above parameters and that there never is one single, simple and universal truth. Ski technique is in fact a smorgasbord that is as hard to decipher as it is to navigate.

My skiing as evolved a great deal, my goals have changed, my preferred runs aren't quite the same as they were decades ago, so here you have it, ski technique is truly a moving target!
