Eddy wrote:Rusty is a passive, subversive, antagonist. He thinks he?s subtle but that?s why people here on PMTS don?t like him or his posts. We see through him. Many call him on his BS. He tries to cover up his subversive comments by throwing a bone every once and awhile like ?I never say anything bad about anyone?s skiing?, yet he constantly attacks Harald personally, on Epic. He has plenty to say about PMTS other than Harald, Diana and SCSA are good skiers. His comments are mostly childish, playground type of attacks.
I saw him in action for a couple of months last year when I posted on Epic, as Carver-lust. I became disenchanted with Epic because of the relentless double speak, rambling and confusion. The normal post is pages long, makes no sense, but some how proves to their audience that BB and company are ski experts.
I was so pleased when Peter Keelty and Harald joined up and started this forum. Even the people from Epic (mostly) are polite and more even minded then when they post on Epic. They still go back to Epic and agree with BB on everything. I think if you don?t over there you are not in the ?secret hand shake club?.
Rusty, unfortunately for him and I believe that?s where much of his angry originates, is in no-mans-land. He hangs off BB?s coat tails. He isn?t recognized as an expert on Epic or any where else as far as I can gather. I don?t even know what or where Eldora is and he sure isn?t appreciated on PMTS. So Rusty, go away.
In conclusion, this is not an attack on Rusty personally; I think he?s a great guy, probably one of the best ski instructors in the world, if not in the USA.
First of all Eddy I would say you are doing little to quiet any fires. Take a quick look at your posts at Epicski and see who is best labled antagonistic.
No I don't agree with much of what PMTS teaches. I agree with some. What I don't agree with and what I find most tiresome are the constant negative references to "traditional" ski instruction.
In terms of long posts......I think there is one person here who can fall into that catagory. Let's be fair.
You mention the word polite. Do we need to list a few of your epicski posts here?
Expert? I have never used the term and have many posts where I say I AM no expert. I am a PSIA level III cert. Again in terms of hanging on coat-tails and agreement I think folks here are in general agreement with Harald.
What or where Eldora is? Who is passive aggresive? You have used that line several times at epicski and I think you need to take a look in the mirroe my friend.Eldora is above Boulder, home of the CU ski team, and at 738 acres is larger than Stowe or Tremblant according to ski magazine. I do find that stat tough to believe. It does preety darn well and with 1400 feet of vertical at 9200-10400 feet gets great snow. By all means come visit.

You bet it's a small local resort. The US is full of them. If you are going to look down your nose at small resorts you'll stay busy. I had several offers this winter to teach at Summit County or Grand county resorts and prefer the short commute and a local customer base. Believe it or not there are resorts in Colorado looking for PSIA Full Certs.
