Whee! I did my first double black ever yesterday. Main Street at
A-Basin. I'm told that, as double blacks go, it's not that high on the
"pucker factor" -- but that's okay. It was a good confidence builder,
and it was a lot more fun than I thought it'd be.

Great stuff! Notice how well you ski the single blacks and advanced
intermediates after this. And it's great that the fun factor triumphed.
These slopes can be brutal. I have not skied A-Basin, but it's on
my list.
You are now invited to Squaw, Kirkwood, Alpine Meadows
Sugarbowl, and there's a line in Mott's Canyon (Heavenly)
with your name on it. :-)
