"SKIING
IS A SLIDING SPORT":
Conventional Skiing Wisdoms (CSW's)
by Bill Jones, Ski Instructor
Certified Professional Ski Instructor (Registration #110478)
CSW #
9: "If a skier looks good, the skier is good."
Al Capp is the cartoonist who did the comic strip, "Little Abner" set in
Dogpatch, U.S.A., and a series he did covered a beauty contest in the hick town.
One of the contestants, however, who was stunningly attractive, had a wart on
her chin. No problem, however, her promoters simply convinced the townfolk that
a wart on a chin was a beauty mark. "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder", it
is said. Some forms of skiing look graceful and are therefore judged so by some
observers, but others knowing the limitations of the style find the same form
unattractive. If your skiing goal is to look a certain way, you may be
compromising performance that could be improved by skiing a different way.
Consider function as well.
