We can go a step further and look at any of the skiers that have been posted and say for sure than any off them could improve their skiing and their level of enjoyment of the sport by doing some basic fundamental work on technique.
John, I wonder if that is true for them.

Whether we are playing guitar, cello, golf, tennis or skiing, solid fundamental technique is something to strive for and something that makes everyone better.
Midwif and I have often had this discussion. She comes from a "coached" background.  Her husband was a coach and I've seen her give swimming lessons to life guards who admired her style at the pool, and your statement is as true for her as it is for you. I think "striving for solid technique" may be much lower on the "what's important to me" scale for the people that we are talking about.
