Ski Control System (SCS)
Student Comments and Instructor Evaluations

As stated before I believe the extensive and positive comments from both ski instructor SCS ski evaluations and especially the four years of beginning adult SCS student lessons provide the most objective confirmation of what I believe are the enhanced control and safety benefits of SCS equipped skis. I invite you to review these evaluations and student comments via the following links and then to return to this page.

1:1991 Max Lundberg Evaluation: After several years of SCS prototype development and favorable comments from several PSIA (Professional Ski Instructor of America) ski instructors, I was delighted to have the opportunity to have one of my evolving but still early SCS prototypes evaluated by Mr. Max Lundberg, Director PSIA Educational Foundation in February 1991.

2: 1992 and 1993 Formal Ski Instructor Evaluations: The next two ski seasons my company funded 50 PSIA instructors to ski with our SCS equipped skis and provide their evaluation of the SCS benefits in six aspects of wedge and parallel skiing.

5: 1994 Thank You Letters and Market Survey: After the successful 1994 SCS lessons, I sent a follow up letter to the students thanking them for their participation and requesting that they consider a) signing a form thank you letter to the Heavenly Ski School and b) completing a market survey. This section presents these 1994 Thank You letter and Market Survey responses.

6: Updated 1994 SCS Evaluation by Max Lundberg: I sent the results of the 1994 Thank You letter and market survey to Max Lundberg and requested his comments. He responded with a very supportive letter which I was very grateful for presented in this section.
