Whats the difference between Carving, and skidded turns? I hear these terms being thrown around everywhere, but I dont really know what they mean.

carving is when you connect the turns and skidded turns is when you sort of stop and turn. and smith makes good googles and they go well with the smith helmets too.

http://www.snowboardingforum.com/tips-tricks-instructors/9651-steep-hill-carving-vs-sliding.html is good knowledge.

skidded turns are basically when you are slowing down by skidding or slipping on the snow. Carving is when you aren't slipping on the snow to slow down but keeping a very clean line, staying on edge the entire time.

My board finally came!!! It looks amazing, even better then I thought!. Cant wait to take it out this weekend! What are some good angles for all mountain riding? I have it set at 9, -9 currently, and that feels about right, but im not sure until I take it out.

Got home from the mountain a few hours ago and this board is amazing!!! Its like a hot knife in butter, it cuts through the snow with ease. I can actually feel what carving means for the first time. The bindings are super responsive, and dont seem to have any problems yet! Cant wait to take it out more, rest of this season is going to be sick!
