Upper level 7: Joelle, Carla, Donna, Meow, Angela, Ashley, John, Celia – as a 7 class will do, we head right for the bumps. 3 inches of new wind blow powder, good stuff to wake up the senses. Lots of thoughts on starting

the turn with the inside ski, no delay on edge change, load up the outside ski early and aggressively, let the femurs create a rotation force in the hip sockets to shape the turn, edge control with side slips, pressure the skis with leg extiontion, manage the turning forces at completion with ankle/knee flexion. Was it ever cold or what … only saving grace … we all had cold feet. I like those lines down the fall line with minimual ‘shopping’. Nice changes for all!
