I havent skied the keepers, unfortunately, the snow gods had different plans for me in Chile, which was a really good thing- you can't aways get what you want but you get what you need.... kinda' thing...?
One of my favourite ski coaches says there are two kinds of snow conditions.
Good and good for you.
Mike, I'm thinking you're on the right track with the trips being the #1 thing
Ron, you broke the rules with two things.
