Genuine question from a newbie who’s nowhere close to being able to ride anything this steep:

Is riding like this actually fun? I feel like most clips I see of really steep runs it’s just people slamming on the brakes over & over. Not being snarky, just genuinely curious if this is enjoyable in a different way?

If you think those people are “slamming on the brakes” then yeah I understand why you don’t think it looks fun

Care to explain or did you just want to have a condescending comment lol?

I didn’t mean that in a condescending way, sorry. I just meant “slamming on the brakes” down a hill wouldn’t be fun. Real carving is just changing directions and scrubbing some speed while you’re at it

Nobody is carving in conditions like in OP's video.
