Laurel, Mitzi, Diane, Jenny, Olive, Betty – no picture today, but six videos. All about edge: early, leading with inside 1/2, dropping hips into the hill for higher edges, change radius with higher edge angle and not twisting skis, more flexed at initiation (especially in bumps), tipping ankles, ride the ski, go forward with the skis. Crazy winds today (90 kt. gust on top of Peak 8), warm, all upper lifts closed, skiing actually quite good down low. All about technique today … and it was a good day.
