Toeside turn mastery

This is awesome...

On the best days I like to try and stretch out my tosides like this, feeling the extension right from my toes through my spine and up my neck.  It's a bit dangerous to be so extended, the spine isn't in a safe position to absorb impact in this position, but it just feels so good!  (Green runs only, when the groom is near perfect.)

I will admit that the surfing toeside/bottom turn turn by Alex Knost is a bit of an anomaly. The textbook surfing bottom turn is just the opposite as exemplified by Tom Curren, one of the all-time surfing greats. Curren's toeside is more like the Japanese snowsurfer carves. An antithesis of the groomer freecarving that you are promoting.

One more extra slushy toe-side carve...

I love those full extension toe-sides, but it does put my weight too far inside and sometimes it causes me to slide out.  I need to work on stacking my weight over the edge better (particularly on the toeside).

The Alpine community learned a lot from skiing, and as a soft booter I've learned a lot from them, but I think there's a lot to be learned from the surfers too.

Snowboardering basically started out that way in Asia.
