I would answer your question, but I clearly have an unfair advantage.

And I have to agree, SnowHot's skiing is light years beyond where she was the last time we skied together (which wasn't all that long ago).  The Tahoe lifestyle is clearly having positive effects!

And clearly although The Gathering is an Epic pseudo-official event, it's not really about Epic (and definitely not about religious wars regarding skiing training methods), it's about a bunch of friends who have been getting together to ski with each other over the years.  All are welcome and I believe that everyone can get what they want out of it (depending on what you put into it).
