That is exactly it in the last few seconds.

That's a real nice video....had she been working with JC for her whole first season??  IF she really is a true adult newbie to skiing-than that is quite a plum for the Clendenin Method.   

The final bump run is in some pretty huge (but well spaced) bumps.

Watching this video makes me think about another aspect of the whole technique discussion....What are your prospective learners looking for and what can you give them and how soon can they put it into practice?  JC's product seems well-mated to his clientele. 

And I think, apropos  of my earlier threads, he is definitely serving up a distinctive style of skiing that has a few fairly pronounced techniques that are fundamental to his style.

Gary,

I have JC's book, and have always liked his skiing and his approach to teaching....Does JC ever work with more aggressive and higher end skiers than those typically featured in his videos (and I am not knocking the people in his videos, but they are mostly older true intermediates who wear fancy white jackets with fur trimmed hoods and elaborate designs on the back ;))?  Does he do a 'black level Camp'   or camp for more advanced, fit, skilled skiers?  How skilled is the rest of his Camp coaches (I get the impression that Tino is the next top dog n the line)?
