Hey Jim....because of the great rate we got...I'm pretty sure the DVD will NOT be included....I know he wants to get all together the night before dinner and talk about the DVD and maybe even watch it if there's a place we can do that...It should be ready by then. If it's ready before then, I'll post that info hear on RS.

Mike...what you're seeing in the DVD trailer is the basic entry level of skiing bumps and broken snow. You would see more edge angle at higher speeds on steeper pitched terrain but with the same concepts of little toe edge of the uphill ski releasing top third of the turn and re engaging bottom third of turn. Here the primary principas apply: Drift, touch, tip, center....COMMIT!...!

I've seen the preliminary DVD and it's so easy to follow the process....it's very clear to understand especially if one has purchased the On line Clendenin Ski Method manual.
Your description however is very accurate....the pole touch is the cuing factor. The method is quite easy on the body and wonderful for speed management no matter what the pitch or bump size. The DVD in it's final format will go into more detail about turn shape, timming, relase, etc.

I think anyone that is intent on improving their all mountain skiing ability should experiece time with John or at the very least, his manual and DVD.

Best,
G
