I have it on good authority that Klaus Mair, now head instructor at Treble Cone in NZ, required all instructors to practise the Wedge Christie when he first arrived and then demonstrate it to him. How NZ got into this mess I dont know but I imagine Mair likes the arrangement as he promotes his online videos while teaching.
While riding up a chair I was talking to a friend about a skier on the hill making PMTS type movements, the other person on the chair, who turned out to be a TTS instructor in muftie, interrupted and said "we don't ski like that in NZ etc". I let the comments go, much to my friends relief, but the arrogance is amazing.
