Mike....there's nothing like jumping into areas like that but crawling before one walks is always the best way I think....even more important is riding those areas with experienced riders to study how they attack their lines, what they look for, what ski skills these utilize in those areas.
Skiing with 3 riders, Ira, Dale and Ron...all three of them use different techniques in their approaches. I know Ron and I discussed their techniques and each of us use similar movements but in our own way.....tree skiing is uniquely yours...but it's something you have to hone and work on to become proficient....at least I know I do.
Was a wonderful week with exploring and playing in great conditions. Greg brought his A game and appetite to explore trees and glades as well.
Hey, it's all part of the mountain and feeling like a kid playing cat and mouse with your buds in the trees is a blast....
Ah yes....my ever changing skiing evolution....gotta love it!
One thing I did find was that rockers are a bit tricky to wedge in the woods.....with those big turned up tips...not to much to grab hold up front.
But they were a blast, quick, easy to wigggle through tight areas and just a blast in any snow above 2 inches....hard snow...NOT so much.
Best, g
