I tend to get too far forward, so while the snow's been soft, I've just left the top buckle flopping. And if cruising a bit, I undo the ankle buckle also. At home we often make training runs with every buckle AND the power strap totally undone, but apparently it's not allowed over there. Not allowed? By whom, over where? -- monique Longmont, CO |

Here's one: Notice the hands in front, pole ready for the next bump, looking forward... Er, no. All I see is a big spray of powder! Okay, I think if I force myself, I can see the stuff you're talking about. http://www.digis.net/~mellib/favski/ski3.jpg And give credit where credit is due, this is a picture taken by our own Mikey... bruno. -- monique Longmont, CO |

Say something like, "I sincerely invite you to bite me. Hey, neat, powder!" -- monique Longmont, CO |

I did not think MJ was a difficult area. It was nice, there was some fun stuff there, but I wouldn't call it difficult. If it was iced up, possibly. We searched for appropriate bumps because what we found didn't really come under what we considered "black" bumps. Mind you, we'd have been very happy to do our exam on what we found, but the examiner felt we should do actual black level ones. We all came from other ski areas. ant |
