True enough at younger levels but as you move up in age and skill, the weight distribution between the downhill and uphill ski gets closer to 50/50. What you're saying has a kernel of truth and young skiers are still taught downhill ski as a fundamental but shaped skis have really changed the game on this.
- swader999 2y agoNo, you never weight each ski evenly. Former WC mogul skier here and even in moguls there's a slight difference in weight on each ski in a turn. Shaped hour glass skis make it easy to turn but you still need more weight on the outside downhill ski.
- oldandboring 2y agoThat's why I said "closer to 50/50". Also, that's awesome that you competed WC moguls. I probably saw you compete depending on when you were active, and we almost definitely know some of the same people.
- swader999 2y agoAwesome! I might be even older and boring though. 92 was my last cup year.
- oldandboring 2y agoOh boy, yeah pretty old :) There is one person I know (but not very well) who you likely encountered (Canadian, in fact) but they didn't make it to the WC until 94 I believe.
