Ron:

Can we assume, therefore, that you won't be attending a Harb ski camp this winter?? ?>:D

Like you intimate, there must be more to the story, 'cause it appears to me that you and Phil were intentionally baiting the bear, hoping to elicit a reaction?? On the surface, it seems like getting banned was your primary objective?? ::) ::)

I have to admit that I find the whole PMTS/PSIA thing kind of sad and funny at the same time.? Reminds me a lot of my two sons arguing about who had the better Transformer (or most any other toy).? Pretty insignificant in reality, and not at all crucial to whether or not we enjoy our time sliding around on the snow, but what else do skiers have to do in the summer time.? However, PMTS has definitely helped me to get better, something that wasn't happening with ski school lessons.

By the way, I am probably going to attend the February Blue/Dark Blue camp this year (see ya there).? When I took the December camp several yaers ago my legs weren't in ski shape (the reality is that none of me was in any kind of shape).? I've managed to lose a few pounds this summer and am feeling much better; and am just feeling the need to drink from the Kool-Aid again.

I don't know a lot of the skier elite, but I do find it interesting that many of the names that I recognize and associate with popular books and videos have a lot of PMTS movements.? Lito Tejada-Flores, Harald, John Clendenin, Jerry Berg, the DesLaurier brothers.? It is also interesting that Lito, Harald, and Jerry Berg were all instructors in Aspen at the same time.? I will also admit that several of the above, certainly John and the DesLauriers have a lot to offer over and above the core PMTS movements, while Lito was probably more of a bridge or transition between the PSIA and PMTS schools.
