Breckenridge Ski Lesson Pictures And Some Food For Thought

Morning: Brian and Karen from NYC, Brian level 1, Karen level 2 – by 12:30PM both making laps on Rips Ride and chair #5, well done.
Afternoon: Carol from Houston, level 1 – 3:30PM making easy wedge turns on the Poma – delightful afternoon.

Laurel, Joe, Paola, Don, Peter, Rebecca, Mitzi, Chong, Olive, Diane,Bob – epic day (really)! Chutes and bowls – sunny, little wind, warm – lots of miles (around 17,000 ft. vertical) – chocolate for lunch!!!!

Tony, Paola, Laurel, Olive, Rececca, Nancy, Mitzi, Don – bumps, balance, pivot slips, chocolate for lunch!

Paola, Pam, Donna, Dawn, Marilyn, Janet, Joelle, Kathy. Most interesting moments of the day – Solitude. Most success – Little Johnnies and Dukes bumps. Most confusion – explaining hip rotation. Most tasty – cocolate for lunch. Thank you ladies for not abandoning me after the hip lecture, we’ll put that one away for awhile. Hopefully everyone has an appreciation for pivot slips now … there is a reason!

Joelle, Donna, Sally, Debbs, Pam, Judy, Becky, Nancy, Dawn, Jenny – one cold day, -55 wind chill, but we were still skiing at 3:00pm … now that’s hardy skiers. Eliminate the step in bumps – main focus – definitely time to make that go away. Lots of chocolatte for lunch , thanks Nancy.

No picture, all video today. Mark, Paola, Julian, Amy. Bowls and bumps, sideslips, hockey stops, pivot turns, joints that tip, leg rotation … and tons of skidding. Light bulb day for Paola and Amy, good speed control and shape on Rustler and Peerless bumps … you ladies are understanding the key to edge control … Julian is a ripper, trees and bowls, with one hit on Mach 1 … Mark dialing in on whtat upper and lower body separation is all about. Dandy day!!

Mike, Chuck, Sam, Budda (Greg) – the reunion rages, on. Great day skiing: Horseshoe, Rustler, Contest, Sidewinder, Peak 6, Way Out, Upper Towlet Bowl, pole balance, hands and hips. Major wind … but lots of new snow. Thanks for the tip, thanks for the beer, thanks for sharing ‘a day in the life of college friends’!

Laurel, Joe, Mitz, Chong, Peter, Rebecca, Olive, Pat, Diane —this was a good day! New snow, some drills, new terrain, chocolate for lunch (hey, it’s Valentines). You ‘guy’ are putting the pieces together and how it show in the skiing. Just have fun for the day, what more could we ask.
