Faul Valar, Chairman Technical Coordina~ing Committee 'Professional Ski Instructors of America East walli~ford, Vermont 05742:~l;lt Dear Paul ,:'s t:~ :,," At last I h~ve a moment to discuss the manual reJilIlsion suggestions' sumbitted by Sid Jensen to Woody Anderson of parlClCity, Utah. You may remember that we talked about this somewhat informally at Aspe n last April. Will you please see that a copy of this letter is forwarded to Mr. Jensen? I will remark on the items of Mr. Jensen's letter in their order of appearance: 1. Counter-rotation: Use of this term in ski language is widespread. It is my belief that we have framed the broadest possible definition to accomodate the meaninp;s attoched to ttl i 8 tnI'm. YOll 01'0 Rwnro t T' m sure of my unhappiness with "counter-rotation" being used at all, but we are stuck with it for the time being. Quite possibly in a few years it will go the way of "heel-thrust". l'robably it was a mistake to add the sentence:"This is ••• eliminated." after the definition. 0 n page one. It would seem that the people \'li th the best understanding (aerialists, trampolinists, competitive figure divers) of this term do not evep use itl My recommendation is to let ,the present wording stand., 2. Up-unwel:ghting; He sug~~ests the addition of tp.e words: " ••• is the primary method of unweighting." This is probably ;~ good idea, but it seems a littk unnecessary since up-unweighting i;S one of the seven basic principles of the American Ski Technique. 3. 'Angulation: It seems to me that whenever a skier is anl),iated, his hips are more toward the supporting surface than his upper body. This would even apply in such extreme cases as a very high speed turn into the fall line from a shallow traverse, in which we would find for long radius turns of sufficient speed that the skier is actually f facing up-hill during the beginin~~ of tile turn. rrherefore I canIlot see the difficuly with what is said in the manual. 4. Counter-motion: T~e imnlication of the sug~ested additional words is that counter-motion is a force. It is not. I believe we have tried to be careful to avoid missatatements of this sort throughout the manual. Ny feeling on this is rather strong because only a force can bring about a chanr,e in the path direction of the skier and his skiso You may rotate, coun ter-rota te, and LwJ. D t; lIim all you l1ko, bu t; .yuu only create motions within the skis-skier system. The path of this mass (skis and skier) depends up on the direction and magnitude of EXTERNAL forces. Gravity and Friction are the ONLY ones available to the skier. All of his actions must be coordinated to make use of the 1,ffiat the skier does to control the forces of gravity and friction are not in themselves forces. Perhaps this last remark is not called for but I must make it anyway, with appologies to Mr.Jensen. The text must be read for ITS meaning, not for the reader's interpretation. une 68 pace two 5. Serp4nt: Of course he's right, but we knew that when this section was included. As a mat . '. eading the manual, one cfin find several parts and '" I improvement. Yet it m"I,"b e .",understood that the rev epresents a signal impr,.,. ~nt ~over the original book, and time did not permit a more exhaust! V' " work for its revision. One can only marvel at the task that wasi~ . actually accomplished under the circumstances or oUf organization. The book ~.' a cre~i t ~o PSIA, but I believe tha~;.:.s~.i~neday not too' many year~iaway, l t wlll be even better .,~,j 4' 6. Ref .pag~\ 29 of the manual. At the bottom, lef!~' the word "or" is an error. 'rhe warding should read: "It'or three' . ncurrent forces: (diagram) then R is found thus: (diagram) or thu, : (diagram)." Perhaps the extra "or" can be errased from the printer's plate. 7. Ref. page 31 of the manual. Unfortunately, this is the only page of the skimechanics sectio~ whose original I do not have, but I believe I can reconstruct it. There is an obvious error. I am puzzled by the comma which ends the paragraph near the middle of the page at the X~.I:X ric;ht. The paragraph shouldread : 1111'0 calculate the change in velopi ty over the interval of 15 ancona 1:1 (flV(lT'nr:o IH)(101 01''' t; i we must consider the velocity at time equalD l~ socondo to be the resultant, V , of its initial velocity, V., and its centripetal KKK~I~~K:XX~i acceleration iX~lI~ over th~ interval of 15 seconds, ~V. It would probably be a good idea to add:"Thlils the velocity of the end point of the second hand at time equals 15 seconds is the vector SUfi! of its velocity at time equa~ zero and its change in velocity due to its centripetal acceleration." Perhaps a note shouihd be added that delta V, strictly speaking,is only the c •·.. n ge in velocity. To be acceleration it. must be divided by the tim4iinterval of the change. . .'., "I I note another error on th's:page in the lastlparagraph at the bottom. In parentheses:"(about 5 inches)". That should he 8 inches instead of five. My recommendation is that this page be revised as soon as practicable. 8. Ref page 39 manual. I believe the explanation which Mr. Jensen wants is on the next par;e (40). It r.:hould be obvious that it mD.kos no difference whatever whetller the skier is before, in, after the fall line or coasting completely on the flat with no fall line at all. Page 54 explains this somewhat more fully. Perhaps this needs some expansion. I would like to have ot~er opinions on it. 9. Ref manual page 43. Interpretation of the diagram: The skier's BODY POSITION allows certain optioris as to BODY ~10TIONS which bring about changes usually refered to as "TURNING FOnCES" which control the external force givin~ rise t~ a 6HAN~~ BF DIRECTION. Arrow 19n~thn have no significLlI1co. This page is one of the ones I had in mind when I made the general comments under item 5 above. I believe it could be vastly improved. 10. Ref page 47 of the manual. I note a printer error: third word in next to last sentence of first parav,raph,left hand column. This word shouTId be reflexive, not reflective as printed. Perhaps Mr. Jensen would like to submit a rewrite. I don't belive I understand exactly what his objection is. \'lyman to Valar 9 June 6.8. .. , ....... , ...., '-,." .. , _ ;, ". r ?':. _:',", , , "\':' , ,', , ,~ " \l page three I have no desire to·criticize Mr. Jensen or anyone else take the trouble to put their su~~estions and criticisms i wri ting. In fact, he is to be commended for so doing. However, ; . I must rei!rate for the benifit of the I.S.I.A's Tfch.Committee I who presen;:',d his case that specific suggestions )f,l.;I',' b;;r far the be,st sort. 'vi :tt, h which to deal. Vague reference tJ!'l;;\ii~,.,::he effect that a change 1.S heeded does no good whatever. Mr. Jen n did exactly right in specifying most of the changes he advoca' s. That I do not agree with his suggestions is beside the point, fr we'are all in-titled to express an opinion. . I hope that everyone understands that Vie WE'LCOlvIE comments of a specific character. This is the way that the work of the committee gets done. Vague background mutterings are of no use to us.

Of course, this doesn't mean you do not have the right to argue or disagree with any policy of PSIA.

(2) Prepare some type of program -every association has it's objectives. PSIA's r)hjectjvcs i1rc listed in the Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws. These objectives should be both short and long range. (3) Keep in touch with one of your Board of Directors. Nobody likes a fair-weather friend or a cry-baby. It is extremely important that you keep in touch. (4) Be honest. (5) Keep the communication channels open - your Association must knm" what is going on in the industry before it can speak for your industry. It needs the voice of the membership to be certain that it represents an honest consensus of the memher. Thank you for your attention. your comments, criticism, and proposals will be appreciated.

Would you please advise us in the fall as of your new address, since a new roster will be printed in the latter part of January 1969. If you have not yet paid your 1968-69 dues, you will also find attached a "past due notice" with this correspondence. We would like to urge you to remit your dues along with your photograph so that the new identification cards can be processed and sent out to you before the ski season begins.

Fre1lch Re(J,U'st lllformation The :1inistere of Sp::>rts in Franc~ a:1:! the French liational Ski School have requested that PSIA ask all ski schools and ski areas in the United States to submit to our office, at the French Government request, the number of ski are~s employing foreign instructors. The French Government would also like to know the names of the directors, and the type of contracts being used for French National Instructors teaching in this country. In other words, they would like to have' a copy of the typical contract a Frenchl1'. an working in this country would receive. The Ministry of Sports in France would also like to know what openings are available for French instructors in this country. The French Ministry in essence lNould like some knowledge of ·.. .' hat instructors are soliei ting for jobs in this country and vice versa. It has been requested by the French Government Ulat PSIA attempt to coordinate this situation. It is rca]iz~ d th<1t t11(~r(' are many rroblf>Iwi invol ved because 0 f the si 7.C of the co;.mtry in the Uni ted States; the diversity of the varied interests, such as, t...1.e f!"ofessional instructors, the area oFerat.ors, ski industries a~1d other agencies that are involved. It would be appreciated if the Area Operators Association, Ski Industries of fir. rica, and the United States Ski Association would cooperate with PSIA in this request from the French Ministry of Sports and the French National Ski School.

Ho\vever, in reflecting back on our c0nV~Tsatinn in Idaho Falls with regards to the Presidency, Vice Presidency, Secretary & Treasurer jobs, which we agreed upon, and then to learn after the balloting that the four people voting for Mr. Lorenz were myself, Phil Jones, ClarL Parkinson. and Mr. Lorenz, I felt this was a breach of the ,lgreCl:l( : Lat we discussed before hand in Idaho Falls. He were tryin~ Ie you all of the support We could. and Mr. Lorenz asked me if; .ld not vote for Ed Pond in the balloting for Board ~le: .. ),a , h'il j',d I did to give you all of the support on the Board of Dir"c: ore; you wanted. I feel after reflecting back on tLc events at the meeting that I cannot continue in the position of Certification Chairman. I am herewith enclosing all of the ~aterials which I have in my possession concerning the Certificatiol: : rogram of last year, and the remaining materials are i.n UlC hands of Mr. Clark Parkinson. Hhoever you choose for Certification Chairman, I will do my best to advise them on any matL.::-s they deem necessary. Although I indicated in the meeting at Idaho Falls that I would take charge of the Examiner's Clinic, in light of the several items which have taken place in .daho Falls, and since,I feel it best you obtain the services of your Chief Examiner immediately. I might also point out that at the National Certification Meeting in Aspen last spring, we invited several examiners of the cthe:!:' ! Division" to 8 meetin~ in Salt Lake City, and an examination while they were in this area during the first part of December. You might contact Mr. Otto Hollaus of St. Paul, Minnesota concerning this.
