It was powder city - knee deep and light as tissue paper. We are obviously not in peak condition for skiing, with aches and pains setting in after the first hour.
We managed 6 1/2 hours on the slopes today, with much anticipation for the impending arrival of The Big MP.
Steve in one of the restaurants:
Den powder run - As you can see I don't have enough speed, turns are too acute and I am not bending into the turn. Skiing deep powder is different - you don't see your skis or the terrain and must concentrate on keeping your head up. Worked on that during the day so hopefully tomorrow...
Den groomed run - speed ok, hands too low and not crouched enough:
Steve powder run - looked fine to me. I did suggest he put in bigger turns but the slope wasn't steep enough to have the momentum to come out of the turn Skier quote on his run "that was sh*t":
Den red groomed - off the pace again and too upright. Uphill hand too low which means I am square to the ski instead of facing downhill:
Steve red groomed - this was good. Nice balance and great technique:
