This turn-entry drill can be compared to the pipe entry, where the body center of mass has to travel forward and down into the pipe before the skis move even an inch down the wall. Got it?

Joan E. Heaton is a popular contemporary writer on teaching styles in the PSIA circles, so if you happen to study for a certification with the oraganization, like I do this year, you'd rather get familiar with her work.  They are well structured and widely accepted but, as always, one needs to be careful of not killing the natural dynamics of learning and teaching process with over-analysis.

Not long ago I got my first opportunity to tele with and among some of the best free-heelers in the region.  And I was hooked, big time!
