It would be much more interesting/important if this was on steeper ground with less secure snow.

this is clearly a demonstration of the pure fundamentals / technique. this is essential for anyone looking to get into the sport. you would like it more, however, if it was what you wanted ;)

Wich variaton is better? if any one is.
Or, in wich case is better one over the other?

[@franka7691]

It sounds like the first variation is more versatile because he said that the second variation is difficult in deep snow. I wonder which is faster. They look about the same speed to me.

if the turn is really tight the sweeping can help turning your ski further altough this usually means its steeper which means its harder to sweep.
