G,

Consider me to be officially jealous. I thought my season ending trip was great as I did 3 new mountains.....you went to Banff, Summit Co and then to the Boat. Glad you got some time in trees, and, had a great time with Ron. My son, who is now 39, was 1 year old the only time I spent any time at the Boat. Need to return, for sure.

All,
Gary and I were speaking about trees and bumps following his Steamboat trip. We both ski small, very groomed eastern mountains, and we concur that the environment where one skis the most, does shape your skiing. We need small steps to get into big mountain skiing.....Montana's Big Sky taught me that very quickly. Gary mentioned that Ron's skiing has just improved so much since his adoption of Steamboat home-site, at least on a part time basis. Confidence, even for solid eastern hard-pack skiers, just rules when jumping into big mountain conditions. I've got to do some thinking about how to improve this aspect.
