As someone who grew up spring skiing, it definitely was!

Do you think carving is applicable to all conditions? Usually when a run is a little tracked out and/or mogul’d up I find myself doing a lot more skidding. The pressure generally feels very even (like a carve) but I am usually asking for more rotation than a carve would give me which mandates some skidding in my experience.

@@tie_ler yeah you shouldnt have been carving on that slope, on flat parts though, try carving to maintain your speed

Yeah I mean I put my edge perpendicular to the fall line when I get tired. But I still feel like I'm in the most control doing a proper turn on an edge. I don't think taking formal lessons would improve your riding much. I'd say just get more days on snow

Pretty good; you're almost there. You are doing a lot of sliding rather than carving. That is your next step. Dig your edge in and let that edge run across the mountain rather than sliding your edge down the slope. Hope that makes sense. My son has been in Jackson Hole the last few days; I was looking for him in this video. Ha!

Don't know about a 1-9 but middle/solid intermediate. The problem with self taught is they tend to develop bad habits and poor technique. And most probably never realize that or take a long time to notice and try to correct. An instructor will teach proper form and technique and point out poor habits. The question is how invested are you at wanting to improve? You can just have fun and enjoy the way you are and slowly improve through experience. Otherwise if you have the funds for it, investing in lessons is worth it if your goal is to improve.

@@jizzsawpuzzle could you elaborate on what bad habits I’ve picked up? Blacks are generally very easy for me and I am able to do most double blacks without issue. I am pretty comfortable with all turning types (skidding, gripped, carving, down unweighted) although there is probably room for improvement with each through practice. I would say I have a difficult time with expert level runs (harder double blacks), and these are where my abilities really get challenged (riding is slow and turns are often fully skidded). Definitely interested in whether you see something here that may translate to improvements on more challenging runs next time I go!

@@tie_ler I meant in general self taught folks tends to pick up bad habits. I wasn't speaking about you in the video specifically but an example would be most folks learn to link their turns by counter rotating and swinging their back leg to complete their turns and they continue doing as they progress which is poor technique. Your video is mostly all bumpy riding so I can't really say but just going by what I see you're doing fine but there definitely is room for improvement. I do see some counter rotating but it's not bad. Simple tips would be work on keeping your body aligned/stacked and then for those bumpy/steeper terrain would be to get in a lower more aggressive stance and put in more effort when you initiate your turns. Just make sure you actually are in a lower stance and not just bending over. It makes a bigger difference than people realize.

@ super helpful - I see what you mean, thank you

I made sure to listen and keep an eye out for people behind me while I waited for the people in front of me to get farther down. I was also high enough on the crest that I was visible to the entire run behind me. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

stop being rude bro， as long as he is staying there, nobody will hit him. I would not be sorry if you do not have parents who can teach you to be polite to others.

If you want to see more, my "Tram Top to Bottom...... - Jackson Hole (Day 4)" videos have about 15 minutes of moguls, 10 minutes of which are uninterrupted and seemingly endless!
