Are you a leftie or a rightie?

It makes sense that we would have a better turn one way than the other when learning to ski if one considers the decision that snowboarders make to be regular or goofy. Snowboarders that practice riding fakie (backwards) eventually find there is little difference if thier stance is symetrical (ie duck footed).

I didn't notice any difference when first skiing, but then I had inline skated for years. When I first learned to inline skate, my turns were better one way than the other. I forget now which way that was, so I think my movements and balance are more symetrical now.

Aye Trencher, but I think the difference is far more pronounced with boarders, because of the "lean". (Don't know if that is the correct expression, have never boarded and never will)

In a way though, it may be the same body rejection of an uncomfortable stance.
