Should I hold an extreme skiing clinic this year, at Killington?

[Highway Star]

Some of you may remember the clinic I put on for the epicski folks back a few years ago...........

"Skiing the Highway Way".

While I cut it short due to bad conditions, it seemed to go ok. Should I hold another one at Killington this year?

A few of you guys need lessons on slaying the gnar.........

Well, after all the interest in my MA thread, the Expert skier thread, and the ESA Stowe, I would like to donate my time to teach a freeskiing clinic.......we'll call it the "Highway Way".

One day, early-mid January, at either Stowe or Killington. Probably a Friday, but it can be a saturday or sunday. We'll set something up. I think a group of 10 to 15 people would be fine.

We'll work on many important topics that the PSIA might not be addressing for you, such as:

- How to have fun on skis
- Skiing in Jeans
- Skiing fat skis on the east coast, and why
- Actually carving
- How not to gape
- How to spot real steeze vs. fake steeze
- Ripping
- Jumping
- Skiing fast
- Skiing in traffic
- Skiing fast in traffic
- Bragging
- Finding powder
- Finding "technical skiing"
- Internet callouts
- "Adventure Skiing"
- Poaching
- Smelling like BO

All valueable topics.......

No, really, I'm serious. I'd be happy to take a pack of you skiing and impart some knowledge.....perhaps give you a different perspective on skiing, and ways to enjoy it. There will be no showboating or other asshattery on my part, promise. If you would like to know Killington or Stowe better, I'd be happy to show you around.

Please let me know if there's anything specific that you'd like to work on, and perhaps I can put a little curiculum together. It will be fun.

Don't you need a mountain with extreme terrain to do extreme skiing?

Killington is more than extreme enough for alpinezone.

I thought you got left behind if you couldn't keep up.

But sure, my mandatory GS turns in trees could definitely use some work...

Should we wear jeans??

I do not disagree with Highway Star on this point!

However, it says nothing in regards to my original response regarding Killington = Not Extreme.

lol, once again it sounds to me like people use some kind of funny mirror when they view their own skill set......

First reason to laugh at this thread...........you used the word gnar (toolbag speak)

Second reason to laugh at this thread.........Killington = extreme.

Is there a fee?

It's free, and you get what you pay for!!!

Awww man, after reading so many posts on here how Killington sucks after FAILing so miserably at everything they do...I resolved myself not to ski there this season. Good job! :lol:

You make no sense!!!!! FYI, that is my friend's son behind me.

What does that have to do with the price of tea in China?
