    I guess everyone is an aggressive skier

    Every ski review here and over telemarktips starts as follows:

    [height], [weight] and aggressive skier

    You can be agressive and still be a hack...

    When in Rome ...


    I also think the truly elite skiers typically have zero ability to review skis. My hypothesis is that their brain detaches from their body when they ski (which is part of what makes them elite). Ask them how they liked specific skis, and the answer is sort of: "uh, they were skis." All the detailed crap about skis is likely far more relevant to those of us in the big fat belly of the bell curve; we are interested all the help we can get from skis, even if we are "aggressive."

    I'm a passive-aggressive skier.
    I just bottle it all up and then rip that shit up for 5 or 6 turns.

    You forgot to add ex-racer, ex-coach to your aggressive skier. Another worthless tidbit added to reviews.

    Take note young Maggots: Trainnvain is actually on the path to enlightenment.

    Once the state of transcendental linked recoveries is achieved, aggressiveness is irrelevant.
    Crippled but free, I was blind all the time, I was learning to 'ski'.

    Yes. Derivations of charger--hard charger, super charger or expert charger are also acceptable and common place.

    Oh yes, and don't forget these all time classics:

    "I am a ski instructor"
    "I'm PSIA certified"

    Not that there's anything wrong with that

    If speed control waves at you then you must be an aggressive skier.

    This thread is a soon to be classic!

    Edit: And, for once, we can say "PM Rontele about the definition of aggressive skier" in threads and have it be legit!

    This is surprising how?

    Telemark = license to suck.

    Telemarktips = license to suck, loudly.

    I'm more regressive; the older I get, the less I know. Also, my skis are occasionally digressive, upon which point I become rapidly ingressive.

    Guitly as charged.

    I hereby change all of my gear reviews to include: "I am an EXTREME skier".

    Remember kids, there's only one "me" in "extreme."

    Had an idea that it was my thread that prompted your thread.

    Edited my thread to illustrate your definition of an aggressive skier!
