Hey Mike....it's interesting cause when I showed up in 2008 and John put me on the simulator, he noticed right off the bat that I was using PMTS movements. Further, John runs clinics too but also will do private sessions. I think many more leave his tutelage with the knowledge, but it's taken me 4 seasons really to get a good hold and apply at will the re-centering tool. Like any other teaching form it may be minutes to learn and apply but some skills make take hours and hours of application to own.

I've seen such a variety of skiers in classes, not all upright like mine "was not". The first thing I learned I was too far over the shovels for skiing 3d snow and some boot work got me more centered so fore/aft movements became more "alive"! I think what we learned and have applied, yes costly, with both Harold and John....all worth the price at this point in our lives.

Max...John is HUGE into demonstration and teaching absorption and extension...HUGE..b elieve me....I was way to static and compressed leaving no room for absorption an extension...somethi ng till this day I work hard on.
