Learned to ski using the "Naturteknik" pioneered by a guru- guy named Walter Foeger.

He claimed to be coach of various European Winter Olympic Teams and all sorts of stuff that turned out to be bogus. Entirely boolshiite.

However, after one week at his "Boot Camp" in Jay Peak VT, one was either dead, or able to put one's head "down the fall-line" and ski any Black Diamond in the world. Graduation ceremony: everybody skied solid ice Tuckerman's Ravine and lived. FYI, NE skiing can be so icy and cold, that when you get out west with the Naturteknik to ski powder, it was all a piece'o'cake.

If he's still on the planet, maybe this fake Foeger ought to start a winter and summer camp with this Suzuki guy. Play Mozart while snowboarding? Heaven!

Heh. Long ago, last time I skied the Tuck....I took off my skis and walked down the pure ice cliff. That’s why I’m still alive today. :)

Good times.

Do they still teach that method? I’ve always wanted to learn to ski.
