Ok, so "trainage" isn't a word...but neither was Google 15 years ago!
Here's my question to the enlightened masses here: We all know that bicycling in general, but IMO, particularly Mtn. Biking helps improve one's winter abilities as far as picking lines, skiing/riding through the trees, and even running gates. Question is, how exactly would you describe or word that concept? I think there's a commonly accepted term for it, I just can't remember what it is! I've also heard this mystery term used along the same lines in driving courses...
As an aside, I can always pick out the mountain biker(s) whenever I teach an advanced ski or snowboard class, especially in the bumps or the trees. They're much more comfortable in tight spots, they pick more logical lines, and they're usually better at switching to Plan B on the fly when something goes wrong (like when an out of control skier almost takes them out).
Now I just wish I knew what to call this concept!
