GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted December 31, 2017 Report Posted December 31, 2017 On 12/31/2017 at 3:39 PM, Ski2Live Live2Ski said: So here was my technique for advancing kids on steeps. They started out real tentative, mostly going from one side of the trail to the other and only deacending a little each time. Then I explained to them that since there was a flat after each steep, once they got part way down the steep they could "let it rip" straight down and slow themselves on the flat. They started on each steep asking me when they could "let it rip" and proceeding down with complete confidence once I told them it was ok. As the next step, I suggested they use their own judgement as to when it was OK to "let it rip" and they started doing that. Then I explained they could "let it rip" from higher up on the steep if, instead of just going straight down, they switch their weight from ski to ski while going straight down. So they could make small esses, but not the trail wide traverses they had been doing before. And soon they were doing it on a double black. Pretty good progress for two 10 year olds on one cold day. Expand Nice!!!! I like hearing that!! 1 Quote

RidgeRacer Posted January 1, 2018 Report Posted January 1, 2018 I may need to get up to Montage at some point just to see this shit show. Haven't been since they added it Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted January 1, 2018 Report Posted January 1, 2018 I would try it but only on a day where there were no lawyers on the slopes because I wouldn't want a hot cocoa or juice bag wailed at my face. Quote
Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted January 1, 2018 Report Posted January 1, 2018 They only let them on the slopes a few times a week, so if you want to see it look into that first. Friday and Sunday PM are 2 of the times I think. 1 Quote

I even managed to stop a few times to take some pictures.

Yes found a rad powder stash on Lower Runaway and Lower Fastrack since everyone was skiing the double blacks early on. Was just way too epic. The report will have to wait until tomorrow night since I'm eating Chinese and then heading to Camelback for a few hours. Does it count as 2 days if I double dip??? Quote

Expand going to a second mountain is a whole new routine, taking a second shit is no different then the shit you took 2 hours earlier. using your logic, we have to use 24 hours of skiing to count as one day 2 Quote
