Thanks for sharing your tidbits re: Harb camp.  Did you get your smoothie Jim??  I'm sure the skirt would facilitate the ante!  Re: technique; were you corrected by instructor(s) and group members?  All aspects of technique or minor "tweaking" respective to  each Jean Claude Killy??

Due to major powder 'dumps' (quell the comments gentlemen), our carving skis were not the right tools for the Utah experience.  The demos I was set up with were not a ski I would personally purchase (Rossi Voodoo's, 80's). However, we were on a major learning curve, given the lack of our powder 'experience'.  My chicken thighs would now impress a turkey!!!  Quad burn for four days but no complaints from either of us ( o.k., a reprimand to Svend given his choice vocabulary midst a group of Mormons....too funny!)

Obviously, according Svend, it seems Ron, Lynn and I would be in very good company. Saved over $100 on a necessary pr. of Obermeyer ski pants.  No worries, an annual perk can always be justified, as we all have our vices.

Back to ice and cornmeal today.  Thanks goodness for SHARP edges.  I'm missing Utah already!! Sol Vista/Loveland has evidently created the same effect. Terrific!
