Looks great....of course.

I was watching the UMASS racers (they train at Berkshire East) last week during my pro shift.  Your video reminds e of the sort of turns they lay down while free skiing to the practice course.  I'm always impressed with the power and grace of dedicated older racers.

Nice.  I've been working on gs turns a lot with the firmer, great carving conditions that set in about a week ago around here.  I realize that I need to think more about acquiring that no swing pole plant as right now my hands/ poles aren't really entering the equation in my bigger arcs.  I've been using a older generation rossi race GS ski (21m turn) that has been lent to me---feels great.

How is the race team this season at Holimont?  The Team at B'East has gotten huge, and the top kids are doing really well-we have a great crew of dedicated coaches and club parents that turn out some truly high-quality skiing.  If all the kids at Holimont aspire to ski like you, I'd assume your program would have similar high quality results.
