I just ran across this link. It seems that PSIA used the term "extreme carving" back in 1999! So was the EC crew aware of this or was this a case a parallel development?

My (non-educated) guess: It was independent naming. And it really does not matter: if you look at ski-carving pics (e.g. http://www.carving-ski.de/index1.html?h ... tml~inhalt) then they are still far-far away of true EC style in terms of style. Skis are just not right tool for this job. Of course one can have some high-speed non-completed carving turns quite easily on skis but if you really want to lay down, then one plank wins over two planks hands-down
