For something other than crashing... My last two days on snow last year were memorable. Had some "ah-ha" moments...

One day was at Loveland and I spent some time skiing bumps on OTR and A-Bowl... definitely took my bump skiing to a new level just by getting some much needed time in bumps and applying what I already knew how to do. It put my bump skiing close to the level that my carving is at now.

Last day on snow was at A-Basin... had one run that I would classify as one of my best and most memorable runs ever. Had nice, light untouched powder down the east wall and then skied to the base on whatever that groomer is...  just as it was setting up with the sun hitting it - so nice and firm and grippy. Used a GS-style turn in the powder [think Japanese 4ce cut the wind type skiing] and carried the same movements all the way to the base in some really strong high edge angle [fairly tight] carved turns.

Highangles was there on both days I think...

I keep replaying it all in my head in the hopes that I can repeat it once I hit snow this year.
