Month: March 2011

Beyond words, what a day. Hike the ridge (Lake Chutes), Independence Bowl, Tiger Woods, Windows (and the stream, what a hand full). Short radius turns, more skidding, some bumps. And best of all… Orange Crush. Thanks Jason and Jose, a pleasure being your friend and teacher.

Jason, Michelle, Jeanne – the Texas trio. Speed control was the mission – stop the shoulder rotation, narrow the stance, bring the hands forward were the tools. First day of the season with an outside lunch – spring time is good. The day was most fun, thank you.

A happy afternoon. Little Magic Carpet time with Payton for some straight runs and laughs – Colorado chair with Steve (dad) for some ‘hold the hands higher’, ‘keep the feet wider’ time.

Powder morning … shinboo and more shinboo …and …. Toilet Bowl

for a few tight alpine turns.

Jason – good to tele again. Wale’s Tail & Horseshoe bowl. Focus: quiet upper body and hands, core tension. Tomorrow: shinboo!

Ming & Susan – say goodbye to the wedge – say hello to parallel turns and exploring the mountain.

The physics of the turn … and hot chocolate. Most productive morning. Take care my friend, see you next year.

Keith, thanks for hanging in there in the afternoon – it was a good afternoon – right turns and all. Both directions will be parallel in no time. Take care.
