- I moved the verb entry to figure-eight, which is by far the more common form (in fact the existing quote for sense 1 was hyphenated), and made figure eight an alternative form. On "figure-eight" I managed to find only one quote for this sense. Kiwima (talk) 22:10, 2 December 2018 (UTC)
- The discussion at rec.backcountry is about preserving the powdery nature of the snow for later skiers. While I am not sure of the precise meaning of figure-eighting in this context, it appears to be a solitary activity, apparently easier to execute while bowl skiing than tree skiing. --Lambiam 18:20, 4 December 2018 (UTC)
