I found Todd's post today, thank you Todd, for your dedication. Smart people get it! Not so smart people struggle. Mislead people get frustrated or they lower their standards and make excuses.
I just posted on another thread about the quality of this forum and all the free information that is provided to anyone who has the desire to become an expert skier. Thanks Todd, for pointing out all the different ways to access PMTS for free.
We have built a great team over the years. Our team has the most dedicated instructors, technicians and coaches in skiing. Also, to those who are pursuing PMTS learning through accreditation as PMTS instructors; I am truly thankful to all of you for your dedication and hard work. PMTS accreditation sets a different and new standard of excellence, not before known for skiing.
There are few people on this planet that have the skills and the ability to do what Diana does.
As A.L.E. points out, she is not only a legend, but brilliant, in every regard. Her skiing is world class, her coaching is, if not the best, it's top 3 in the world, but I doubt anyone in the world can match her coaching. I'm talking about coaching any level right to World Cup. Just ask Crawford Pierce, a former US Ski Team coach for over 10 years and a Burke Mt coach for 10 years.
Our team has evolved the alignment to a level where it's the leader in skiing knowledge, in every respect. I am so excited to have produced a formula for alignment that encompasses everything we can control with boots, skis, and techniques, that others could learn and use. It's such a thrill to have people who are so well versed and engaged that they can contribute to the evolution of our alignment systems and methods.
Walker our shop technician and expert boot tech, is amazing. He gets it better than people who have been in the ski industry doing boot work for 50 years. Walker was working in the medical devices field, he's an engineer, a Medical Devices Professional. He's perfectly aware of skiing movement and how they relate to the biomechanics and alignment. He did this in two short seasons with us. This is his third season, and he's already better than any alignment and boot technician in the world.
When you see what we can do now with skier's alignment and skiing, from an indoor evaluation, at the Harb Ski Alignment Center, it's mind blowing. This team we have assembled and trained can now evolve the system, not just copy it. When you know something well enough, to continue to contribute, to an already well developed and successful program, and add to it's quality and success, that is the test of a true master. We are constantly evolving, getting better. Our "Think Tank" has depth, knowledge, experience and expertise.
We thank you for your support, following and dedication.
