Elizabeth & Michael – Menlo Park. Started with bumps (why not) and proceeded to more bumps. After totally mastering those tried some off piste by riding the T-bar, questionable decision as the wind was in fine Breckenridge form (upper mountain eventually closed), did find some good snow after finding some bad snow, over to Peak 9 and more bumps, ended up on Rustler with steep bumps (best snow here). Soften the arms (less robotic) and keep them open (about beach ball wide), stable hips to provide platform for leg rotation, hips face outside the turn (can under do it, can over do it), release the new inside ski at turn initiation/feel the new edges/ steer and shape with leg rotation, keep some pressure (grip) on both skis ALWAYS, don’t give up at finish of turn – get the last 10% for speed control and set up the ‘platform’ for next turn, lots of slipping (on groomed and bumps), pressure turns, pivot turns. Ok, that should be enough to keep you busy until next year. Good seeing you both and catching up, good times this morning, THX. P.S. – not one bad turn in Needles Eye !!
