    For sure. Check out that carving video. Watch what he does - easy. Stands up straight, skis shoulder width apart and parallel, both arms extended forward, chin up, reaches down with one arm and "pushes" on the outside of one knee with the other arm still extended out. The turn just happens. Beautiful part is the extended arm is then pointing in the direction you are turning. Do that a bunch of times and you are at the bottom of the run having made nice turns.
    I like that video, especially when he has to make a recovery in the middle of his demo. It's hard to tell at first because he is so smooth, but he is really carving at speed.
    Just these, nothing else !

        Blue.

        He is carrying enough speed to catch air on many of his turns. Most black runs are rated harder because of trees or bumps rather than steepness.

        Speed and steepness are really hard to gauge on videos, everything seems to be slower and gentler than it really is.
