Ski chatter--what causes this? Gear or technique? In this post, let's pretend it's technique (I made a similar gear-related post in the hard goods section).
Intermediate skier. I can carve, and I can ski off piste, but I can definitely work on my technique.
Cold day, steep piste, hard but not icy, some groomed sections and some loose dry snow. Making controlled, short, round, slarved turns. Got ski chatter from lower/downhill ski. Not high frequency buzz, more like a strong, hard bumping: engage-disengage-engage-disengage, and so on.
More forward pressure? Less? More edge engagement? Less? Weight shift? Body position?
Ideas?
