No argument that Berger skis very elegantly. It doesn't mean that all PSIA Level 3, CSIA Level 4, BASI Level 4 or other skiers with highest qualification will ski as nice as he does, otherwise CSIA might have to create a Level 5 for Berger one day. :think:

The BASI videos demonstrated the standard expected from the potential instructors, they are not taken for Interski events.

Look at this CSIA L4 short turns from 0.31 to 1.00, he is so much better than the BASI L4 demonstrator.

(BTW, PSIA only has 3 levels)

Thanks for pointing out my typo.

This Level 4 skier looks equally bad (comparing with Berger) to my untrained/non-qualified eyes. Please kindly start a new thread to discuss who has better (or worse) skiing style than Berger if you like.

Me too, I also have a pair of untrained/non-qualified eyes...hehe! I do not have ability to judge who is better but seems the fore-aft balance (both Berger and the CSIA instructor) is more dynamic. :msn_cool:

I never saw a CSIA 4 can ski close to Richard Berger. Richard Berger is king of a ski god to me.

This one is slow compare to Richard Berger's short turn, they are 2 different technique.

Right -- see how close his arms are to the body -- this is mogul competition style.
