For those interested in the dates put forth above (so far WNYSkier, zuschauer, Bolter, and I will likely be there... 3 coaches and a boot fitter... you probably won't want to miss this one),
I have those two weeks (Feb 11- Feb 15 and Feb 25 - Mar 1), marked on my calendar as possible dates. It looks like we will aim for mid-week to accomodate this group. I will choose the day based on snow/weather and everyone's availability. Please shoot me a PM with your email address so I can reach you more easily than through the forum as the time gets nearer. I will try to give as much early notice as possible so we get the best snow/weather for working on technical free skiing.
For mid-week we can get away with race skis for an entire day without worrying about runs getting tracked up. If we do any weekend days, in order to ski high edge angles with a lot of forward pressure all day, without worrying about auguring into loose snow, I'd throw in something a tad wider/softer than a race ski. I usually skis GS and/or SL in the mornings and then move to all mountain skis in the afternoon if the conditions require it... they don't always. Mornings are usually high level free skiing on race skis/carvers to see where everyone is at when they push the envelope a bit [for me, 188GS and 165SL] [with video, when you're fresh] followed by flatter terrain in the late morning and afternoon for working on technique with drills and directed free skiing. Video review at lunch and during apres ski [w/laptop in tow].
For those who can't make the above dates, the offer still stands, so shoot me a PM or post here if you're interested.
BigE,
We have great snow making (we actually held patents on the system that we invented). You will not be disappointed by our coverage - even if there is no snow on the ground. Those who skied Holimont last year when every other mountain suffered, can attest to the great job our hill crew does to ensure the members have great snow.
Cheers.
Discipline is the refining fire by which talent becomes ability.
