This is a 13 year old from California. I've been working with him for 6 years. I have 6 others that ski almost the same way. In time trials they are within a few tenths of each other on every given run. National level coaches with ski team and international experience have come to me and said, "When these guys mature to full strength you have World cup skiers."
This is possible; many things can happen between now and maturity, nothing is guaranteed . I know these guys already have world cup technique. They didn't get there by learning rotary skills, pivoting or extension, they did it with the "Essentials of skiing" and PMTS. And how did I get so lucky that all 6, of the boys I'm coaching from California, including one girl, all ski the same and they all ski really well. It must be in the water! That is "California water" and if you have listened to the news, you know it's in short supply.
