even on powder Am's?

From Lynn on Jim's computer in Dillon, Co

Yes, BECAUSE the parking situation at Vail is not aimed at the day skier.
So rather than clomp along 1/8 of a mile in ski boots, carrying skis etc, we ride the gondola
to top of the moutain and change there.

The downside of this is that it takes many trails to get to the back bowls to access the powder.
SO WE USED THOSE TRAILS to warm up and practice? some technique.


Which I was really feeling the need for. Something was "off" in? my skiing and I was trying to figure it out.
MY mojo was lacking. The drills helped.

Having a a half day with HH today helped even more. Gee, he is so precise in his eye and able to pinpoint what the issue is and what the solution is.

Looking forward to more powder and crud days. The snow gods have been good. Jim's Ullrs are amazing. Beautiful and he skis them well. Able to handle easily, terrain which challenged him much more in the past. AND he is able to work technique with these wide boards. Seeing that in action has been inspiring.
