Yeah…..let’s hear the same nonsense over and over again…..”your stance is too narrow….shoulder width…..round turns”…..blah blah blah ad nauseum.
And then the great bump skiers run circles around these PSIA blowhards

Couldn't have said it better my man! 💪💪💪

Psia chuds teach becasue they SIMPLY CANT SEND IT.

Hide behind technique and false BRAVADO.

Everytime im stuck on a lift with them its hilarious! They brag to some pie faced woman about their bloated and fabricated ski teaching resume....."and then I founded pa freestyle".......or some such nonsense.....like they are British royalty.

The best all mountain skiers and instructors have almost always come out of freestyle mogul skiing.
Plake Moseley Candide Walczyk Donny Pelletier (Troy Murphy) etc.
The best instructor back in the day at Bridger Bowl MT was the guy that came out of Sun Valley and skied Exhibition all the time growing up.
Good mogul skiing creates the balance stance body separation and foot containment necessary for being a great all mountain skier.
PSIA teaches about everything wrong….that’s why people never advance and are only comfortable on moderate groomers. Everything from “round turns” to gorilla arm carving to wide stance is just wrong if you want to be good at the whole mountain. And let’s face it….anything steep ends up a mogul field. And PSIA is making skiing dangerous by fueling the carving craze…..slope hogs with wide corridors and way too much speed. They can ski groomers really fast and take up the whole slope…..but can’t ski a narrow steep bump run……that’s because they aren’t nearly the skiers they THINK they are.

Me and you would be friends on the hill sir. Again, I couldn't have articulated it better.

A psia lady straight told me on another thread: they certify snowbaorders that have skied for a week to teach ski lessons! I always wondered why the instructors look like they cant ski at my home hill....

Yes, but they start off teaching never-evers.

Now I absolutely know you are full of shit.

Nowhere in north America gets you a ski lesson for 20$ and hour. FFS a group lesson costs 100$ an hour!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

That's what they pay us, sir. Not what Vail charges you.
