some of them Max. alot of them are being hindered by their inability to see though the BS of whats good and bad in skiing and instead become yes men and yes women. Some are pretty freaking amazing. I got to ski with the a group who was trying out for National Demo Team this year being coached by Terry Barbour last week and Eric Lipton a current national team member was there. IMO Him and Sogard a step alot of the people on that team.



I would disregard what ever they are teaching because we most likely take it out of context but this guy can ski and pay attention to the skiing.  the tip and lift. flex to release counter when he wants it and dolphin movements being done in bumps.

Let it be clear I do not teach to company line on alot of things and I am much more open to new ideas than alot of the higher ups but at the tryouts they saw value to that. they probably also saw value in my youth. I am the youngest Ed staff member on the entire east coast by 3 years. The duty of youth is to challenge the establishment and that I did at the tryout. Some people in the PSIA love that and some are quite frighten by the fact that I could in fact take their jobs. 

My goals

2013 make the Dev team
2014 Make the eastern Demo team  which will get me a scholarship to the big show in snowbird in 2016
2015 make ETS squad
2016 tryout and hopefully succeed at the National Demo Team tryout.  crazy to think Ill be 32 by then.
