Good stuff today. Met up with our instructor, Ellen Shields around 3 pm. I'm trying to remember how the first few runs started. I think it was Ellen, Grassi, MR. evil and me. We picked up Brian, 180, MogulQueen, MrMagic, mondeo, and eventually johnnypoach towards the end. There were also several tag-alongs that joined in. I would be interested to know how they heard about the clinic. Lurkers perhaps?
Anyway, I'll let the others describe their personal experience, but basically Ellen worked evenly with everybody. You could tell she's done this quite a bit and was very pleasant, helpful and inspiring. The major focus for everyone was getting their vision up which translated into better extension which seemed to be the overall goal for most. However, she worked on some specifics with most everyone. Lots of progress was made by all and we practiced a few duels at the end of the session.
Anyway, I'll have more thoughts later, but I wanted to get the discussion started. Really great to see everyone make noticeable progress in a few short hours. We went right to 8 pm finishing with a few exercises in the lodge.
On an unrelated note, I was shocked at the amount of snow loss in one day. Startling actually. Closing tomorrow is warranted. I think there's enough snow to piece together a good product for Sunday, and perhaps the following weekend, but making April is going to be a little tough. But if anyone can pull it off, the mighty Sundown can; just might be a lot of threading the needle, which I love so I say bring it on!
Great experience today. Nice job everyone!
