Bennetts 2009 - Day 3 - 3/26/2009
Another great day at ski school. I'm going to make this brief as severe weather is closing in on us very quickly. Last night we experienced a storm that just about made me have to change my shorts, and it just keeps coming. Luckily the weather has more or less stayed at bay during the day and just tormented us at night. I'm currently on the deck of our cottage looking at the radar using my laptop as the skies thunder and flash away.
Slalom was rough today. I started at 28mph for some reason and found it very difficult. Very squishy. In order to ski it, I had to be smooth and in control the whole time. So, although the theory usually is that slower = easier, I don't think that's always the case. Sometimes skiing a slower pass actually requires more patience and smoothness, both skills that pay off at higher speeds.
Trick was great, again. I feel more comfortable with the ski every day. I learned 180 wraps on my good side, and did them with pretty good consistency. Working on reverse SS and 180s. Great fun.
More later. I don't want to be the moron on the news who got struck by lighting while typing on their laptop on the porch in a thunderstorm!
