Off to Snowmass, Colorado, for my first-ever women’s edge ski clinic (or any other kind of ski clinic, for that matter!). Met up with a dozen skiers of all abilities, and the 3 instructors divided us according to goals and capability. Each day we skiied on a different mountain. Did we have to ride the bus and lug our skis you ask? Why no, as a matter of fact, we did not. The ski school transported everything each day, a great luxury. My group of 4 included a young management consultant from Ireland, a dental hygenist from Cleveland and a sweet grandmother (retired) from Sydney. Quite an eclectic group!
Our teacher was so patient and always had a smile on her face. She has figured out at least twelve different ways to tell us we are skiing too far back and we need to lean forward. A lesson I am still working on, believe me. Ended the day happy and tired.
