Old thread...but this update is worth it.

I came across this recent video of Tobin from section 8 working on some preseason carving at Hintertux (Heluva posted this on Epic under the thread dynamic skiing)

It starts a little slow, but stay with it and you'll see some high quality CSIA carving.  Of all the videos on Section 8, the carving demo was the weakest (not bad, just not strong)...apparently, Tobin took that to heart and got something better up there.

FWIW, Tobin, as an internet participant, seems to be a good, self-effacing guy who still seeks earnestly to improve his already high level skiing.  In addition to the Section 8 website, he posts as Skinerd over on Epic.   IMHO-he is the best skier and instructor there, and curiously, the most humble...go figure.  here's the video (when coupled with his Section 8 videos on Steeps and Trees paints a great portrait of a good skiing instructor):
