Garrett – Austin, TX. One degree at noon, this was a cold one for sure. Skied all five mountains, found some new challenging snow (maybe the best Upper 4 O’clock or the Meadows), couple breaks, kept moving around the mountain so weather was ‘workable’. Pole touch with hips crossing over the feet, no delay onto the new edges, pressure the inside edge of the new outside ski right at initiation, more even pressure in off piste, position of strength, not letting the downhill outside hand thrust forward at finish, hips facing outside of turn, pivot turns, pivot slips, some bumps (lots more bumps tomorrow), grip – never lose grip (well, maybe 50 milliseconds at transition), shin pressure, where to pressure the foot (front of heel, aft of arch). Lots of turns Garrett, like to see you being aggressive with the shaping and pressure. Happy 50th !!IMG_0568
