- throwing yourself onto the snow and continuing wide, and maybe getting up on your skis again to continue

I think that is about it, maybe not so much alcohol on top of that. But then again I cannot believe I'd ever have to say that as an austrian. How is that with you guys up there?

Common simplyfast, we all know about Austria and the nice bier stuben and after ski bars you guys have all over your ski resorts with table dancing and beer drinking contests. Places like Crazy Canguruh and Mooserwirt are good examples. Here, check out the action:

 Just flex the stance leg at any point and your turn size will increase -- stop resisting sop strongly  where your body wants to go.  Start steering the other way...there are millions of ways to do this.  Many involve unloading the ski .

Now I stop feeding the troll.

Well, would be a shame to close them down. Seems you had pretty good fun there, too. One can just hope that they wont hit the slopes after that, but just their hotels.

Anyhow thanks for sharing the images.

The images I just snapped from the net. They are not mine. But I have had lots of fun there although at my age Moserwirts is more appropriate. But you still need to ski down and this is where things can get a bit hairy.
