I have been chasing after this so called perfect ride. I don't know what that really mean at the beginning. But after this season, I have a better idea.

I am really a ride (kind of) guy, I don't like to do tricks and jumps too much and certainly do not have enough guts for it. On the other hand, I don't like speed too much, until I can ride that speed with ease. I need to be in full control, I'm a control freak.

What I enjoy is coming down the hill smoothly, that "feel good" ride; No sliding, no breakneck speed, no counter rotation, edge working to the maximum; turn swiftly and effectively; Hands touching snow over the turn; Just flow around the hill. And it got to looks good and in style. I got to be confident. I can be either lay back or aggressive.

I also like consistency; no matter it is green, blue or black run, no matter it is sliding turn or craving turn; no matter I do big wide turn or going short radius/rail to rail; no matter I'm on powder, packed, or ice.

I still far from that perfect ride.
