I think this argument can go both ways.

1) a.In many cases to Carving Skis damage the piste faer more then a snow board. Lenzerheide yesterday is case in point. Most pistes looked like a mogul field by the end of the day. Carving skis push snow into heaps at verious places down the slope leaving icy conditions in between.
in all fairness it's the technique not the skis that create moguls. Carving when done properly is totally devoid of sliding when turning and the only sliding happens when braking. As such, it cannot be carving per se that creates moguls.

Proof in case is that the turning radius of a carving ski is at least over 10 meters, whereas I'm yet to see moguls 10m apart.
