Todd:

Thanks for the ski strap advice, 'cause I do use Leki clip-on poles and don't usually bring the "normal" regular straps.

Perry:

Remember shorts for the alignment sessions.? You'll have socks and boots on, but they want to be able to see knees while standing in boots (and without boots).

I assume that everyone got the mail message about meeting upstairs early to get discount lift tickets.

Check the weather forecast.? Sol Vista is north off of I-70 across Berthoud Pass and can be tough driving (avalanches have washed cars off the road) in really extreme weather and it occasionally is better to take the Eisenhower tunnel all the way to Dillon, and then head north to US40 and then back east to Sol Vista.? Not at all likely, but listen before you leave the airport or maybe check with Chris/Diana/Harald if its snowing a lot.?

If you ski Winter Park, consider going back to Parsienne Bowl.? Mild terrain that often still has some powder for skiing.

Be ready to be amazed by the adaptive skiing program and skiers at Winter Park.
