On our mountain the race team is large and makes the mountain a great deal of money. However, the racers make wide stance skidded tail push turns with extension with wedge turn entries. Many of our race coaches are PSIA level two skiers that moved up as race coaches and can't make a good parallel turn. I feel sad that these students are not getting the coaching they think they are. Funny to watch them run gates from the lift in a super wide stance with extension. Last week I watched a coach teaching them to extend fast like springs.
