I haven't tried to master moguls just yet, because I don't have anywhere to practice them. Although I skied glades a lot for the first time and it was a blast! Quote

Plus he started doing glades with me. I was very impressed. Quote

I thought I got the hang of carving finally, since I've noticed a tremendous improvement in my skiing over the last 4 days since buying the Volkls. But eaf said I was skidding... so I guess I wasn't carving. But that was at the end of the day, and I was pretty tired. Afterall I skied approximately 155 runs the last 4 days.

Very fun. Honestly, how do the glades at JF compare to Blue? I don't think I can ski at CB after this because there aren't any glades there. Quote

Expand Blues glades range from wide open to some of the most intense tree shots east of the Lehigh river and west of the Delaware.

Blue only has the two marked glades, but they are really okay with you skiing wherever the hell you want, so if it dumps you can go off in the trees in a lot of places. Camelback also seems cool with off piste skiing, but seems to have a lot less places to do it. Quote

I'll have to look around next weekend because it sure as hell was fun and different. Quote
