So i was hangin' out with my buddy last night and he tells me that this winter while instructing at Sunday River he met Glenn Plake. Super chill guy, whatever. So his wife was taking her PSIA level 3's. Long story short the tester ends up failing her because she initiates her turns from her hips or some crap. It just made me chuckle because this woman is a worldclass skier who has ripped everything with Glenn around the world and was twice the skier of the instructor lol.
I was just wondering what everyone thought about this. To me, I see skiing as an evolving sport that incorporates uniqueness and creativity. If this guy cant ski as good as her who is he to tell her how she skis is wrong? Are techniques becoming antiquated similarly to tricks or is there a "right" way to ski period (for the record i think in most instances probably not)
