 Poster: A snowHead

meh, in my opinion, he's winning races, of course it's good technique. The only way you could conclude he's not skiing with good technique is if you had a bizarrely strict, identikit notion of what good technique "looks" like. I can't speak for anyone else, but when I'm looking at someone I'm teaching I will try to understand why they are not achieving a good outcome. Often, but not exclusively, it's because they are not making effective movements and I try to help them make effective movements, which gives them better tools to achieve good outcomes. I really don't see that it's either/or.

rob@rar, precisely. Lots of people on here and that I ski with obsessively worry about matching exactly that identikit notion of what good technique looks like. That has to come from the instruction they've had. Take the EpicSki forums as an amazing microcosm of that.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Instruction = provision of a toolkit. Real skiing = application and blending of that toolkit in the circumstances one is in. Good skiing = unconscious application of the toolkit so brain can think about line choice, hazard evaluation etc. Great skiing = maximisation of good skiing.
Translation - hopeless trying to be a great skier without a toolkit but equally won't become great through instruction alone.

meh, I think that's a very goof point. A major problem is that many skiers that I see (as an over-cerebrating passing tourist) have little idea of what their skiing actually looks like

slikedges, are you confusing fitness, balance and strength with 'technique'? . . . .
