Now her PMTS instructors are teaching her to angulate/counter at the spine. instead of at the hip joint. I could easily fix it.

Right is right whether or not people like you or not. Just watch House ;)

Josh,

For the record, Harald has written extensively about the need to flex at the hip sockets, and, the need to keep hips more level in turns. Heck, he wrote the modern book on counterbalance and counteracting movements. Look at John Botti's avatar and the hip position is far different, John has written it has taken him years to build that movement into his skiing. Never confuse what PMTS teaches with how a PMTS advocate actually skis.

 As are not a student, you do make incorrect assumptions.  We recreational skiers all speak a far higher level of competence than we can demonstrate on the hill. Helluva tells me that each time we ski together.
