Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Wonder what the average age of the team is? Youth policy of BASI is well evident. No skiing backwards or rotations for the new schoolers!

Interski Congress in Argentina this summer. All the ISIA national associations get together to have a conference on ski instruction. Theory sessions, on snow seminars and demo skiing from each nation.

And what exactly do they preach?? As I recall recent threads on the BASI members FB page showed a quite even spread of rabid pro helmeters, rabid anti helmeters, fence sitters, freedom of choicers and all the rest...

Interski videos on youtube always put a smile on my face. Always some great skiing on view...but each nation is different in their approach and what they think is the best and most efficient way to ski.
We all walk, run, swim, jump etc the most efficient way, yet associations have to find a way of putting their stamp on how we should ski.

Life would be so much simpler when skiing, if the whole world agreed on what was right.

I always remember my race coach saying... 'stop skiing like a ski Instructor'... 'let's ski correctly'... all the ski race nations, ski and race the same way, as it's the most efficient...drives me nuts ...

On a side note... if you watch any Interski videos, I naturally ski like an Italian....typical I went through the Canadian system...which imho, is the most efficient. rolling eyes

Or if you didn't give a crap about any of that? I find that keeps things quite simple.

Surely then we would all be robots and nobody like Bode Miller would exist. or would have had the cr*p beaten out of him for not "skiing the right way"???

Errr, no, ski racers don't all ski the same, and all race coaches definitely don't have the same philosophy. They may be more visually similar because they all have a common goal, but ski instructors skill sets have to be broader as our goals are more diverse.

As for it being simpler if everyone agreed, maybe, but once you finish your exams, you can pretty much ski however you like. I have NZ quals, but ski how I think is best (or as best I can), and train instructors the same way.
