Gary,

I always liked J Clendenin's approach-I have the pDF book, and have worked through it a number of times.  I love the centered drifting approach to off-piste skiing.  It's what lito called 'letting go of the mountain'-which is a great metaphor. The feeling of standing tall, centered and drifting (using a little more flexing than tipping) through unbroken snow is one of my favorite sensations on skis.

What does Clendenin think about the new designs? I imagine, especially as a bump specialist (and an old schooler at that) he'd prefer a rebound laden narrower ski.  I wanted to take a lesson with him...though it's a very pricey endeavor.  The camps look a little to social-low intermediate baby boomerish...but I could be very wrong about that.  Does he offer a gradated skill camp like HH does (I must admit Harald's diversified camp offerings at a great price are pretty awesome and unique in the ski world).

Did you guys see Peter Keelty's most recent post on the homepage of his site about why ski scores are getting higher and skiing seems easier?  Apropos to this discussion.
