Thanks Mike but there is much to learn still and although i don't mind jumping into tight steeps and trees, I have much to learn still. I need to follow Phil and ira around for another week or 3..?

No way to learn this stuff without being in it. You can start off with flat tree'd terrain and then work your way up but its really hard to translate groomed or even bumped terrain to trees, especailly if you ski bumps by skiing off the tops, that would be a bad thing since the tops in the trees would be the tree!? ;D? I have started to ski bumps more in the troughs or on the sides into the troughs and not so much on the tops unless they are pillowed!
Tree Skiing Rocks!
Tree skiing with friends who really know how to do it and share their wealth of skill and info is phenomenal!
Sometimes you just need to let your Bad Self ski!!
