Max has a point.  I've skied multiple times with a CSIA level 4 (and former provincial race coach) who is also a PMTS black instructor.  We've had many discussions comparing and contrasting the two approaches.  It's a meaningful topic for him because his wife is a high level Canadian ski coach who hasn't drunk the PMTS Kool-Aid. 

Their solution at home is to just go out and rip down the mountain together in their individual ways.  Wish I could see that 

Harb and his #2 grew up skiing in Canada, and Harb skied on the Canadian national team, so they're pretty attuned to the Canadian view of skiing too.

I also got to know a handful of Whistler instructors at a PMTS event last year. 

Other PMTS devotees will have similar experiences.
