It won't be surprise to me he is your 偶像

His skiing is excellent. Excellent skiing technique.

Personally preference, i like this type of bumps skiing better than the freestyle way.

It is strange. Squaw is not his home resort

[snowrider]

His home resorts are Heavenly and Portillo, but most of his Ski Magazine videos are shot at Squaw.

Yes, I agree! His bump skiing approach is what PSIA promotes.

It's funny to read the comment on the bottom of the videos especially from Harald Harb. I can taste 同行如敵國， not very nice

"Harold Harb, who comes from a PSIA based background and even served a term on the National Demo Team, developed a movement-based teaching system, the Primary Movements Teaching System™ (PMTS)"

It's interested that in Harold Harb his own biography, he mentioned "US National Demonstration Team" but not "PSIA".
(Note that "US National Demonstration Team" is the full name of PSIA National Team.)

May be I am wrong but when I watched his teaching video. I don't see difference between his system with PSIA or CSIA. He just using different terms like tipping instead of edging.

What I am trying to say is that HH seems to be trying to draw a line between him and PSIA, in order to tell people that his teaching system is different.

I don't want to come across as defending him. It is just odd that skimag seems trying to rip him off. When you are the small guy. You will wake up to defend youself. It is understandable from that perspective.

It is actually quit different. How do you perform edging?

Extend the legs sideway to begin and then add some angulation with ankle, knees and hip.

HH tips with free foot only.

The video around 1:38 and the skier that is running gates. I don't know if you can see the outside foot is lifted occasionally. That is the free foot I mentioned in previous post. At this expert level, it is not as obvious to see because they can just subtly lighten the foot without lifting above snow. That is one way to distinguish expert and regular skiers.

This description I guess involves upper body so this is quite different from HH's which only involve free foot.

Canadian style doesn't involve the upper body much to do the inclination, using extending of the legs to recreat pressure and edges early in the turn. You can see those Canadian demo team members' upper body is pretty upright during the inclination.

The Japanese and Korean really use their upper body to incline.

Harald still extend his legs sideway.

That is another difference, HH does not extend the way you think. He lets his leg getslong, and "recreating pressure" or push is a no-no.

I admire Canadian skiing.
