Brenda, Don, Meow, Nick, Ernie, Catharine, Sohpie – the Saturday group + three. About an hour inside talking about counter, pressure, edging, turn shape, right to chair 6, about 2/3 inches new snow, Imperial with some steep bumps at the top, Whale’s Tail (more cutup snow here, a challenge for sure, then Forget Me Not, some video, Peak 6 after lunch. Focus on maintaining pressure early (and throughout) the turn, active leg steering, let the pole plant carry the core down the mountain, lateral movement at transition, feet/hip separation, skidding and sliding in the shaping phase, short radius as it gets steeper. Most fun day, thanks to all!
