Hi Art, another observation from the hip analysis that worth a second look to the image comparaison:
Re: What's "Hip" in PMTS and Harb Ski

Please note that in the web page I posted in the upper message, the skier to my left is actually holding his inside arm higher and his outside arm lower than I am. This is very good, but it isn’t the real idea of that arm position. The arms and shoulders help, but ultimately the hips need to show more leveling and the inside hip should become higher as the outside hip drops lower and back. If you compare the photos in the last frames you can see the hip angle difference. The hip angle difference makes the real difference in ski and turn performance. The arms are a reminder and a guide to evolve the right movements, but in the final tally, the hips need to be countered balancing and acting.
Whatever you aspire to or dream, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic. Why waste your energy, time and funds practicing incorrectly when the right way is known?
