Is it telling, high Angles?

There is all kind of skiing in that video!  The initial turns are a little 'meh' (the skiing in the groomed corridor with cones-and I get the impression some of those featured are people trying to pass their level 4)-but as it goes on, it demonstrates some great, dynamic, skiing (IMHO) and who ever the demo guy in red is (featured several times and in the segment 'expert bumps' right after 'round turns and Bumps' and a few times before that) is a pretty swell skier (and may be Beaulieu again-in fact, I'm pretty sure that it is).

Meput-All these guys ski narrow off piste, and go a little wider on (that is for all videos posted in this thread-Michel stays the widest of all of them, and Foster the narrowest on anything but groomers)-so I think that slightly variable stance with a nod towards the narrow side of things seems pretty consistent across Canadian instructors pictured here.

I'd wager Josh Foster is the more likely candidate for what you get from a CSIA instructor...(which, I think is what you're getting at-difference is, I like his skiing and his instruction--but then again, MIchel and Beaulieu are incredible skiers-who wouldn't want to emulate them?). 

Honestly, Tobin (Section 8) is the real connective tissue between these canadian level 4's-he has elements of Foster and Beaulieu (nd it's why I have always liked his instructional site and short videos).  poke through his stuff
