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.
Eric Lipton is the featured skier in the video. Question: What do Eric Lipton, High Angles and I have in common. Answer: All Blue Mountain Pa. skiers...Eric still lives in the area ( but skies in the west),and, is known at Blue Mtn. as the "the Pope" a reference to when he speaks about skiing, people listen. I tried to chase him around one day, he skis way to fast. Eric also accompanied our former associate Ron to South America two seasons ago. I sure like his skiing.
Jim,
Google PSIA Eastern and find their website. Lots of good info there and they claim 10,000 members in the east alone.
Josh,
You wrote that we should not take an instructional info from the video because we would take it out of context. I would offer that your reviews of video's of other pro instructors often disregard the context of what the video was intended to show. Great skiing and great instructing are different skill sets.
