A while back I posted on the site the link to the great article Harald had posted on the Energy of Transition. I received over 100 likes, the post was about two months old when this weekend Rick Schnellmann started an all out assault on Harald and PMTS telling me and others on the site it I have a narrow minded view on skiing if I don't believe in leg steering and pivoting. Dan Shores a level III ski instructor was even more and posted this statement and many others. "Harald is a fine skier, no doubt. But he is selling a product and that’s why he continues to trash PSIA. He has to separate himself so you all will pay him a bunch of money to hear the exact same stuff that you can get from any qualified full certified PSIA pro.
There are a bunch of PSIA pros, D Team members who are more skilled than Harald, you can be sure of that and that has nothing to do with anything. It’s the message, accuracy and philosophy that count". Things even got worse and I decided to no longer be part of a forum that is also just another PSIA site. Dan went silent when I sent him in a message the link to the Say Something PSIA version Video. I have been to many PSIA events and no trainer of level III skier comes close to what I learn in PMTS camps.
