I hear you!
The trip to Colorado with Jim was very different than the previous 2 years.
Packed powder was the best the areas had to offer.
My only fall of the week, was hitting a snow snake (aka  downed,small tree) in a patch of trees on a groomed slope that looked so inviting.

It was almost laughable at times, watching the majority of young skiers on fat skis ,straight lining, wedging and sloppily skiing.

I brought 2 pairs of skis, but stuck with the Progessor 8's. ( great ski for me, BTW!).

Fresh snow is great, powder is fun, but the conditions were for working on basic carving skills.
It felt great to edge and feel the ski turn!
