Gonna hit the hill tomorrow morning (probably 9-10-ish) with my oldest. We'll be ripping Toms and Canyon. Gonna try to get her on Nor'easter a few times too so I can hit some bumps. Goal is to get her unweighting the uphill ski and getting her turns more parallel. Need to teach a solid hockey stop too which is related.

Sunday I plan to be there in the morning with my little one. Maybe some Sunnyside, but probably mostly Tom's to Canyon to Ex. Wild Est day on Sunday. The kids get a kick out of the animals.

Anyone else gonna be ripping with the little ones this weekend?

this could be a possibility although avery insists she never wants to ski again. Riley's been dying to get out again though.

If we're planning on it, i'll pm you. I think Riley could handle tom's although i'm worried about exhibition.

I'll be there tomorrow, nephew should be in tow and working on the same lesson. I just need to figure out how to get it in his head that parallel turns are the way to go. He tries it and as soon as I turn my back he comes flying down wedging his his turns.

Poor Avery. She was doing so well too. She'll get over it eventually. :razz:

Remember, you got a lot of trail from the top of Tom's all the way down to Ex. You know how quickly they'll learn. She should be able to put a good wedge together by the time you get down there. I get it though. Ex is frightening to let your little one go on. Get there early when it's less crowded.

planning on tomorrow with jake and megan.. jake says he wants to learn to pull a 3 off a jump since he now has twin tip skis. :roll:.. i'll either be ripping Tom's with megan or hanging @ the first aid station waiting on the ambulance to take jake away.

I didn't go down Temptor, but I thought the low angle bumps on Ex were great. I even felt like I had some good form in them.

I'll be back there tomorrow morning.

I'll be there for a few hours with my little one for Wild West day. Probably won't get there until 11. We'll be hitting Tom's exclusively.
