I'm back home too now.  I managed to get sick over the later part of the week and now I'm dealing with a nasty sore throat.  It was great to see and ski with everyone - mostly the same crew, although there were some new faces that I met.

It's funny that I'll ski much more technical terrain with the Epic group than I normally would choose myself if skiing alone.  I've found though that all of the work I've put into learning both one-footed and two-footed releases has provided me with the confidence that I can ski any terrain that I can get an edge hold on.  Learning the OFR and TFR solves the problem of how to smoothly link turns together no matter the terrain or the conditions.  I believe that this lack of skill is what holds most skiers back and creates the fear.
