again guys, you notice you said? "It is in the very specifics that a techers and a students ski technique is defined. To many Pivot slips look like PMTS Short Radius Turns. They are not and doing pivot slips will actually take you fiurther away from being able to do a quality PMTS Short radius turn. "?

You are referring to just one method or thought of what makes a great turn. it does not address the basics. I personally don't think a PMTS short turn is useful or even possible on steep irregular terrain, but I do believe the basics of that turn are sound basics and fundamentals.

Here's a shot from the trip n LaParvea, i am about 10' above this guy.

It has nothing to do with the basic facts; basics are basics. Eric is these pics is clearly demonstrating sound fundamentals shared by every "brand" of skiing I know. I see uphill use of ski to turn, I see, downhill edge being pressured, I see forward, stacked skiing, I even see the uphill foot unweighted on the turn.? Hands are perfectly positioned (remember this is far from a groomed blue run )? feet are close and the body is forward, balanced and is heading in the new direction, even a smile!


I'll tell you this, if anyone here can ski as well as ERIC, please enlighten me. I would love to ski half as well.
