I'm out making turnz yesterday at the Beav. From a ski instructor teaching a green/blue.
"Push off the downhill foot...now wedge...now stand on the uphill foot...and turn!"
I about lost it. I almost fell off the chair, I was so Gawd Dang mad.
Then, I see another instructor, leading a group down the hill in a wedge. I commented to the other people on the chair that "...he might as well have been a nazi, leading Jews to the gas chamber." Because teaching the wedge is like sending skiers to Auschwitz.
Both instructors were young and good looking -- and had nice hair, however.
What's the worst product you can buy at a ski area? A ski lesson. Unbelievable, how bad that product is. Harald has been way too easy, on ski instructors and this joke of a product they call a ski lesson. What a bunch of hooey.
Skiing is it's own worst enemy.
