Yeah that and or a 180 degree turn. Whatever turn, focus on what’s happening and what you’re doing. Otherwise, “the mind is a terrible thing...”, and you’ll start thinking stuff like the abominable snowman is right behind you.A very round turn will greatly increase tactile feed back from the skis.
I don't think you understand my New England ski mountain lay-outs.Go ski a season in British Columbia's Big White. Your low vis skiing will improve (either that or your card skills...)
More specifically: Develop the "eyes" in the feet; Never stop turning; Stay loose (a major challenge); Keep poles on the snow for additional feedback and to act as cats whiskers; Find points of reference - trees, towers, other skiers - but mostly stay in the trees.
Yep - knowing there are drops, dips, obstacles makes everything so much tougher. I reckon my blind skiing is fine but I'd give a run with an invisible cliff a miss. Unlikely to be fun and not worth the time out with injury. Hopefully there's somewhere else to ski?

I figured visibility couldn't get much worse then that... and then I went to the Gathering at Whistler later that year. I believe @Tricia made the memorable quip of "Now I know what it's like to ski inside of a milk bottle".
The poll needs a "freezing rain" option, as we get that here in the Mid Atlantic and it is really nasty
