You?? Not clear? Perhaps, instead of always phrasing your thoughts as questions inverted by Yoda, you could instead strive for clarity and just say exactly what you're thinking. Your attempt to be cagey end up just obfuscating your ideas.
Actually my reading skills are pretty good, I understood that you were referring to videos by michel and beaulieu....and I didn't say otherwise.
Also, pursuant to the first sentence above: I am still not sure if the pics and bios you posted meant that, yes, JF Bealieu is an influential part of CSIA or not. Seems to me, two time inter ski participant-including the most recent with a video of him running the Canadian style clinic, ski school director, level 4 course conductors, etc suggests to me that it is fair to say that he is. But if you think otherwise, please just say so.
Meput, the happy feet tip: I think he said it was a warm up drill. I get wanting to play around with fore/ aft foot adjustments and a wide gamut of independent foot movements as part of a warm-up to a day of off-piste skiing. I seem to recall Lito saying something similar, encouraging beginners to pick up one ski and move it around and really explore the limits of independent movements, and asking the same of intermediates, but while actually skiing easier slopes as a warm up. I don't do anything like that shuffle he's doing, but I will pick up a ski and flew and swing it a bit as I ski my first run or two to wake up my sensory/ motor connectors.
I would think his powder tip video on using a 'Pop and Smear' would be the one that'd set most folks off here.
Like most ski 'tips' their use is pretty fleeting, and hit or miss. I like some of his tidbits and can't cotton to the others. Mostly, I'm just using his free skiing segments as a demonstration of a skiing style...along with (now) 6 other CSIA notables.
