FULLY DISAGREE.
relying on "the right" ski to suit the conditions won't make you a better skier, it just makes skiing easier.
skinny skis in pow, dull skis on hardpack/ice will make you a better skier. fat skis are like having training wheels. fun, but you don't need balance/skills to ride em. pow was a much more preserved commodity from the lifts and in the bc before fat skis. no everyone can do it.

google search: "heart carving".
you're welcome.
gordycamp? meh. don't go to utah to become a better skier. utah skiing is way too easy with all that foofy snow lying about. nothing challenging or gnar about soft snow. feels good, but that's about it.

Read this book. Also engage your edges early and keep skis equally weighted to keep from skidding so much on ice.
Change is good. You go first.

or you could just pop a couple of viagra before you go skiing so all the blood goes from your brain to your tiny frozen east coast dick and you stop overthinking everything.

More stoke, less shit.
stop showing up on the hill in those 90+mm under foot fatties w/ little to no sidecut.
get a pair of ice skates. i.e. old school 65 - 70mm under foot. u can find a used pair for under 100$ w/ bindings in resale shops. sharpen and wax.

The problems we face will not be solved by the minds that created them.
Try park skis. Tighter turns. seriously. sidecut radius for snowboards is like 6 to 8, super turny.

imagine gong all the way to utah to search out shitty snow? fuck people are weird.
not hard to find if you go across the road, climb a few k and ski sup and variations there of after the suns been out the day before and a light refreeze has occurred. only rule is ya gotta ski it pre-resoftening. nice breakable crust. that'll learn the students right quick. now only if sup were steeper........
