Nice wedge glide guys (a term including the lady also) … good progress. Now time to start turning and let the fun begin. Happy Holidays.

Matty, Level 1, gliding wedge was a challenge but success … now it’s time to work on direction change. Hope you get some fresh calamari for Christmas.

Laurel, Joe, Frank, susan, Peter, Chong, Mitzi, Bob and Diane – the Sunday Wild Bunch (eventhough it’s Saturday). Wind scour, breakable crud (this stuff was a real joy), trees, powder, bumps. A few exercises and a boat load of turns with a few ‘food for thought’ items every now and then. This day is what skiing is all about – great fun guys, thank you.

Amy and Sharon – a dangerous combinattion. Great afternoon with learning to shape, steer and control the speed with direction and friction. You two are couple of live wires, much fun teaching and skiing with you. Merry Christmas!

Jenny, Randy, Donna, Amy Nancy, Eric – level 7 . Tons of bumps with less edge and more slipping and shaping. Some significant changes!

Kate, Cameron, Darcey, Katelin, Caroline, Julian, Erin, William, Francine – level 1. Sunny and warm … lots of sliding wedge turns, smiles and laughs. Good day guys!

Club: Frank, Susan,Rebecca, Peter, Joe Laurel Chong Mitzi – the level nine squad. Pivot turns, two foot shuffle, pivot slides, Rustler, Outlaw, High A, Peerless, American, Mind Shaft, upper body alignment, bump tactics, counter, shaping turns with skids. Hope you guys are worn out ’cause I am – a good day with tons of moguls.

Tons of bumps! Doug, Marcia, Kai, Donna, Ernie, Barbara, Linda, Amy, Randy. Lots of drills dealing with managing the edge, body alignment, committing to the initiation, pivot turns, skids of all shapes and sizes, showing the tattoo, using the pole touch to begin the process. Bumps on Crescendo, American, Volunteer and Peerless. What a fun day ‘guys and dolls’ – we were safe, had fun, and maybe learned something. Merry Christmas to all!
