slaphappy Posted April 17, 2002 Share Posted April 17, 2002 I think Lowell is right. The increased weight on a single edge and the perpendicular stance do create more edging power. However, I wouldn't bank on that being the reason the snowboarder is still around and his buds aren't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MtnGoat Posted April 18, 2002 Share Posted April 18, 2002 Problem is, though, all that assumes the single edge you are depending stays put. Check out board riders smacking their heads (and faces) on the ice on a lousy day at Snoqualmie. Sure, you've got more carving power on single edge, but then, it's also the only edge you've got. When you lose an edge on skis, you simply switch to the other ski. On this one, I vote for the skis being safer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
