I finally understand! (St-Donat Qc.)

I went out today for my second outing of the season. Using the E-99's I bought last year. I didn't get the wax right today, so there was a lot of plodding, but boy could I walk up those hills! Along my planned path I saw a logging road that had not beet touched this winter. Decided to venture up.
It was about 6-7" of fresh powder on top of an icy base and the angle was sufficiently step that I could overcome my bad wax selection. I finally understand what all the fuss about turning is about. I'm sure I looked sketchy and was going very slow, but my snowploughish/ semi parallel turns felt amazing! I went up for a second go. So now I think I know why you folks are all on the endless search of turns in fresh snow. Hopefully more of this to come!

The better you get the more fun it is. Imagine how fun it's gonna be in about 25 years, stick with it.
