I've toyed with the idea of getting a tele set up to spic things up-a fair number of guys I ski with have gone that way and haven't looked back. We'll see, as a late comer to skiing I worked pretty hard just to get the meagre alpine skills I have, I'm not sure I want to got back to square one. But, it seems the people who go to tele pick it up pretty quickly and few of them seem to want to go back to alpine.
Park and Ride? Well, there is a sense of dominance that comes with high speed, uber-wide turns, and they remind me how much terrain exists even on the same trail I've skied a hundred times this season. Whether or not it's good for my skiing I can't assess and don't really care to. I think skiing is good for my skiing, and certainly good for my soul.
I watched that video that Max posted of Bachelor...looks wonderful, I think with my prejudice for big turns in soft snow over interestingly shaped terrain I would love to call Bachelor my home mountain. You are lucky, Max-that's a great home hill and you undoubtedly benefit greatly from that.
Today was a pretty great day of skiing (as was yesterday) a series of groomers became very soft 'corn' runs (it was in the mid 40's mid day) with some bump-like formations on the side. Around 3 pm, it started snowing (a fairly steady, slushy snow but snow) and that made the last two hours on snow equally excellent.
