Brenda, Don, Linda, Sohpie – mix of Saturday Club and makeups … cold in the AM (at least I was – never underestimate the Breckenridge wind), afternoon delightful with some sun and less wind. Morning stayed low and worked on technique, PM explored Whales, Vertigo, CJs, Y Chute, hiked Peak 7, Whiskey River (some really nice ‘good for you’ wind blown struggie stuff), tried to find Lost Cabin – it’s still lost. How much counter is good, what’s the deal with ski tip lead change, pulling the inside foot back at initiation (feel the shin pressure) so feet are closer and easier to pivot/steer/rotate, pole plant more down hill on the steeps, get the feet away from the CM right away, thinking of turns from apex to apex, maintaining ski pressure (aka grip) through transition, bringing the skis right on around on the steeps (strong counter), skidding when it’s slick. Good day! AND, cookies for breakfast (that could be habit forming).
