no ciggs please Lynn, how about a nice cappichino and a protien shake?   


my reference to one foot was mike asserton that Eric was skiing with one foot in a "classics PMTS Style", 100% pressure means one foot.  Perhaps there is some confusion about what PMTS classic position is within the group?    But there's a vid on youtube rght now with someone skiing steeps overtly lifting the new uphill foot on his turns.  I agree there is no need to teach wedges as measure to start turns and speed control   Interestingly, we were just using wedge turns to enter true chutes and to position your self in very tight conditions. its a skill that has it's place. its not the tradtional wedge skiing its more of a wedge braced with a pole plant leading into a turn. Its actually difficult to do.
