Jim....Whistler was fine....we had 4-6" one day...some hardpack...2-3" another day....1-2" another...so overall it was OK....but just that cause they hadn't had snow in quite awhile so some of the areas had rocks just below the light powder...ouch!
Well Ok then....the videos certainly don't lie either....just keep working on making sure you can always see your hands and find that agressive attack position. For me it's my knees stacked over the tip of my boot. I must get there are I feel like I'm not in control of the ski shovels. I say this of course referring to skiing carving snow conditions. In powder and broken snow, I'm skiing more off the center of the ski with my upper and lower body centered on the arches of my feet, hands always in sight.
It always seems weird charging our bodies down the fall line...where staying behind in the back seat seems safe.....untill those bad boys take off like a jet fighter. The pilot always needs to "feel" what their skis are doing and the feet and whose driving make this possible. I was so impressed watching you ski this past Dec Jim....and by the end of the week, you were even pushing yourself harder into new terrain...Kudos!
As far as falling...hey, we all do it and many times on film.
Svend....never seen you in the back seat...getting the feet working together, timing, committment and pole plants were your gremlins on that one fall you had at HV...AND in the few short years you've been skiing....you just a purtty hard chargn' Viking!....nice! I know catching your little girl now days seems to be your greatest focus....but styln' is going to have to work.....those little ski demons love to fly!
