Stuart:

Just thought I would jump in and tie some old to some new.? As far as I know, Lito Tejada-Flores is retired (gives him time to focus on his poetry).? While I never read his Breakthrough on Skis, I did buy the video series "Breakthrough on Skis" (I, II, and III).? The third in the series is focused on how to ski with the "new skis" and is where he introduces the concepts of "tipping the skis" to turn and "carving turns" (if I remember correctly).? Harald Harb was also a ski instructor at Aspen with Lito at this time, and Lito acknowledges that Harald was "instrumental" in developing this whole concept.? Lito also acknowledges that Harald "makes the best carved turns of anyone he had seen."

Harald went on to copyright and organize his skiing concepts into PMTS (Primary Movements Teaching System) and also has three books and videos out on his skiing approach.? So a Harb camp would be consistent with what you are already focusing on, and they do an excellent job of giving you feedback to make sure that your body is doing what you think you want it to (Mine usually isn't)!!? Plus, the afternoons are still free to ski whatever you want or to work on what you learned in the morning, since the classes are only in the mornings.

Harald's series is called "Anyone Can Be an Expert Skier" (I and II).? Commonly abbreviated as ACBAES by the PMTS acronym crowd.? ?? ?I'm not sure what the title of the third book is off the top of my head.
