i can repost his pics - Long story short, I re-assured eric this wouldn't be a pissing match over his technique-
MIke not to belabor the point but I can promise you he doesn't have 100% of weight on any ski at any time in any of his turns. I mean he never skis with on one foot. Why? Especially in that terrain, Why would you ever want 1 edge on the snow when you can use two (when arced) for stability and balance? just like why use 1 ski when you can use two? It makes no sense to restrict your balance, power and ability to change direction and manage speed and direction in miliseconds if your ski is in the air or if it is bearing no weight (if it has no weight, you can' use it) you are only on half the possible snow contact at any given point? What you are noticing is not classic PMTS, since the skier has no training whatsoever in PMTS, to claim his PSIA STYLE of skiing using a basic 2 footed ski technique as being PMTS is laughable at best Ironic at the least, but it shows that good skiing fundamentals are not restricted to any one technique.
I don't know hwo your "local PSIA" guy is but since Eric is PSIA Alpine demo team member, I suspect your local dude (BTW- ERIC Skis at blue) needs to go back to training for sure. Where PMTS and John greatly differ is the use of two feet and the use of heavilly weighting the downhill edge. Where Modern PSIA skiing and JC have in common is using two feet, 4 edges, not liftiing skis off the ground, and using edges and weight based on terrain, speed and desired turn radius depending on need. Again, there's far more in common than what is different. BUt ski the way you want. I am certainly not here to convince you otherwise. Just respect the skills of others who may use a different technique than you prefer.
