Hey Joe...good to hear from you. Alice and I feel the same way. Joe and Nancy both have a great sense of humor and carry those big ski smiles with them all over. Plenty of laughs and wine sharred. Hope to be able to ski with you guys at Steamboat in Feb...so let's stay in touch for sure.

Ok Mike...I'm kinda in the same boat as JB......PMTS taught me tons of cool stuff I still use and John Clendenein admits no doubt, there is a place for HH teachings. John just highlights other factors that accentuate, the pole touch,  the use of the up hill edge, the focus on the feet, skiing in the future, solid use of the drift or as HH would say the Float. Open minds let all sorts of cool stuff come in!

Taking JC methods into broken snow, bumps and pow have been a "auto pay grade initiative" for us. So whether we're rippn' GS turns, or making small churn and burners along the edges, pow, bumps or broken snow, the proper tools for the job makes it a whole lot easier!

Best, G
