Charles, Charles Jr., Ian – Dallas. Dad, middle son, young son: Start on Rip’s Ride warming up, get the wedge going – spend rest of day getting the wedge gone. Less edges, flatter skis, side slips, controlling speed with shaping and friction, larger radius turns, patience at the transition, short turns are too edgy, tipping new inside ski to flatten and help matching, flex knees and ankles, staying forward, pole balance drill, using less of the run (not so much side to side, hold a tighter line), arms up and out for balance, jump in the traverse (well, jump anywhere, it’s good for balance).
