Level 7: Peter and Stephany working on rendering downhill dominate skiing a thing of the past century. Centennial and Cimarron Peak 10 – Dukes and Norht Star Peak 8. Well done mates!

More powder day pictures. Oh by the way, I’ll take back the comment about Yale – you guys can ski.

Definitely in the few top powder, teaching, making friends, ski ’till we drop days. High A, White Crown, Toilet Bowl, Cucumber Gulch, Independence Bowl, hike to the summit, Snow White, #5 Windows, hike to Twin Chutes, #4 Windows, Crescendo bumps, a little Blackberry business, a few rest stops. Seized the day in a gran way. Thank you, hope as much fun for you as for me!

Level 4. The infamous level 4 that transitions between wedge  and parallel turns. A challenging level for sure. Well done ladies, more matching now with turn shaping and far less ‘bracing on the downhill edge’. Wendy, thx for sticking with us this afternoon – proud of you for that. Carol, you are living proof a Panamanian can make parallel turns, nice!

5-6 inches of new … new and challenging. Some great and some … uhh, memorable turns. Boundry Chutes, White Crown, Pica and Springmeier. I often see more progress in your technique than you might see in yourself – things are changing in a most positive directions. Trying to get a Sunday 7 together for next week – maybe the camera operator will be more responsibe.

Level 7 – very good Level 7. Goals: technique, powder, steering, effeciency, just follow, ‘getting rid (old habits)’, confidence. Georges Thumb (first double black for a couple), Forget-Me-Not and Pica for off pieste, Dukes for some bumps. Thanks to all – this was a terrific day!

Leanne: first black (Upper 4 O’clock) and 40 knot winds (are we still speaking?). Frank and Andrew: Independence Bowl (and 41 knot winds) and Dukes bumps. Arianna: narrower stance, slower turns at the initiation, crus

hed Dukes with parallels. Alexandria: 10 parallels in a row and Gummy Bears (even saw her share with sister). You guys are a great team, thank you for letting me be a part of the insanity. Have a great summer – see you next winter.

More pictures of our craziness.
