first you were most likely taught wrong. yes, we both agree on that.
 
Did the instructor say push your heels out? or spread your feet out? or make a bigger wedg? or press your toe to turn? if so they have not a clue what they are talking about. who remembers anymore. it was 20 years ago.
subsequent lessons at different ski areas didn't help much either
these are all movements that are dead end bull **** movement patterns. they are not PSIA's paradigm. i am sorry you had such shitty instruction and getting a L3 doesnt promise anything better. since we can do our own thing some do their own shitty thing, we have a couple here at stowe trust me.

the wedge I use is only used to stabilize people its made by rotating your toes together. and not spread your feet any wider than how you naturally stand.

Once a skier is

balanced in a for and aft plane.
has separation at the hip socket(which you dont even have Midwif) your assessment is correct; your assumption that I was taught that error is not. That is my own lack of technique in the avatar. 
is tipping their inside ski
and balanced on their outside ski(stance ski)

the wedge will be nearly impossible to hold and literally just goes away. It happened today with my 2 never ever in an hour and half.

and yes we need people to have fun. skiing is fun. Not skiing is not fun!  PMTS wouldnt be viewed as fun to most people. So you losing that battle right there. The DVD were the most boring skiing DVD i have ever watched.
disagree. but my attention span may be different than yours

PMTS Bet

If I can prove that this all works IE I have mostly matched turns by the end of a 2 hour beginner lesson. You have to come to stowe so I can teach you to CA/CB better than any of your PMTS instructors I ll do it for free. You just have to post up on the PMTS,epicski and here how I did it. You only have to post if I succeed at making a change in your skiing My guess is your way to scared to take up this bet and wont follow though.

Scared has nothing to do with it. You clearly have no idea of who I am. I have given up rising to bait more often. and dislike driving long distances as Jim will tell you.
