Level 9 skiing all the way. What a great day – tons of bumps, so fun. Thanks to all for a good start to the holidays.

Level 9 all the way – clear skies – few bumps – some rocks. Lost Tye in the afternoon (shoot). Moving forward at turn initiation, long leg/short leg, pivot slips (one ski), one ski turns, pivot turns on a ridge, lots of focus on upper body/hip poition, 360s, shaping and completion. Thanks guys, a good day.

Eco,Jason,Jennifer,Carolyn – all from Texas, a great state indeed. Starting level two – by 3:30pm level 4 sking with skidding, steering, shaping, tipping, straight runs/turn uphill, comcepts of speed control, chairlilt (with NO falls), upper body discipline – great job guys!

Dawn, Cori, Kevin, Jan, Kira. Level 3 morning – Level 4 afternoon. Lots of sideslipping, follow the leader, shaping the turn, how skis release and and change direction, skidding turns, upper body stability. Sunny warm day, little wind – busy day at Breckenridge, long lines. Good job guys, much progress. And quite the handsome class I might add. Instructor Steve with us all day, much help.

Level 4: Brian, TerryLou, Janice, Matt. Crazy day: Terrylou and Janice hit by riders, no injuries. Colorado chair, upper body discipline, skidding, completing turn, release, using both feet as active players. Sunny day, comfortable. Progress by all, many turns – think there will be some good sleep tonight.

Camera still in locker room this evening, will add pictures on 12/9/11. Corina, Brian, Lora, Louis, level 3 approaching level 4. Lora now level 5. Lots of tipping, twisting, skidding exercises. Good progress by all. Lora working on one foot skiing and inside ski pressure.

No picture today (forgot camera, dang). Corina, Brian, Joe and Cezar – level three working on matching and hand position – good progress. Sunny and warm, what a treat.

Bianca and Tray (snowboard), Beaver Creek, cold and clear day, skied the mountain with lots of blue runs, rounding out the turn and upper body position, great turns Bianca – big changes. You are a good student, willing to try and change.
