Yep, Deb is a lot of fun to ski with. I'll be doing a two-day High-Performance Turns clinic with her in January. One of her go-to cues is "stroking the ski." She mentions that in her video, but doesn't go into it. An important focus, I'd say, because it makes you aware of a neglected facet of effective skiing. Many coaches are very conscious of, and emphasize, moving forward and engaging the tip at the start, but few talk about using the tail to grip at the end. If you watch her videos, notice how the outside tail is very much involved at the ends of her turns. Really, the only difference between her short-radius turns and her medium-radius turns is how long she chooses to keep the tail gripping the snow and shaping the turn before the transition.
By the way, one clinic with her I'll never forget. It was during a powder day at Vail two years ago, but champagne powder, it wasn't! It was heavy, dense molasses, and there was about 14 inches of it! Everyone in the clinic was getting stuck and suffering except her. Deb was on her go-to slalom race skis and just floating and slicing right through it. Impressive wasn't the word.
Best!
