Ron..ya beat me to the punch....

I don't profess to be an expert in the bumps but what I've learned is that controling your speed IS THE KEY to navigating the "Sharks Teeth".

My breakthrough came with my one day experience with John Clendenin...and it was truly an eye opener.

Watch him ski bumps and see how effortlessly he skis them. His 4 key words: Drift, Center, Touch and Tip are taped to my computor. If you watch the video, you can see  these primary motions at work. If you ever get a chance to meet the master and get a lesson, any fears or hesitation about bumps will begin to fade away.

Those "Sharks Teeth" will be become your playing field and open more of the mountain for you.

Best,
G
