Lynn, it looks like Hunter may have some terrain open next week. I can meet you there if you like. I really wanted to get a couple of hours on the new boots for last minute tweaks. OK, you must use the terms "ass" and not "bum" while skiing and I will be falling as well. I subscribe to the same philosphy that you are not learning if you are not falling. You will enjoy the Beav' if you liked DV. THe local joke is that millionaires go to Vail, billionaires go to the Beav. I don't kow what your financial situation is but you will see spending from the real high rollers like you have never seen. Its can be humbling. My instructor is typically booked for 3 weeks in Feb/march by one family. He takes the 3 kids and skis with them- thats about $500 per day for baby sitting. These are kids and he doesn't really teach them, just skis with them. You can do the math....
Jim the two jacket thing has worked well for me. I wear only a couple of layers so if its a real cold day I would rahter wear a warmer jacket. This jacket is kind of hig-tech, it has gel packs inside the jacket that heat up with body temp and them release if you cool down. It helps with the temps swings. In warmer weather, I would rather be cold for a while and then heat up when the sun comes up on the slopes. THis way I don't have to overdress or deal with getting rid of layer later on.
