Ride Vicboy's car started at HWY7/400 at 6:30am. We arrived P2 before 8:30am, after wait a few minutes I exchanged DD card to a ticket.
Vicboy went to lift at 9:00am. I spent a few more minutes to communicate with brothers on Wechat. I was on lift about 9:15am.
It was a sunny day. The visibility was extremely good. I saw Vicboy after a few runs but we kept same distance until the waiting line got quite long I saw him in the end of line. I waited him on top of slop, we skied together utill 10:40am I ran to P1 for lesson.
At P1 it took me 10 minutes to get on lift, so I only ran once before lesson.
Today we only have 5 students: Jeff, Roy, Andrian, Ye and me.
Since too many people waiting lift, we only ran Runius once then switched to P3 Apple Bowl.
May be due to slop steep, or mogule icy, I could not ski mogules well like what I did last week at MSLM. I could not continuous ski at all. The fearness dominent everything, I seat back, no aborb, no grip, no weight on outside ski, can't turn quickly. Imagine without these fundmental skills what I could get. Both instructors kept saying and reminding us these skills again and again but we just could not make it.
Drill we practiced
1) hop and turn on top of mogule or on flat slop to re-centered
2) turn on side of mogule. I had no feeling on that. Late of day, I felt that on once.
3) aborb on top of mogule, extend at valley
4) grip
5) moving body forward.
Both instructors ski mogule very easy and beautiful. But us, Jeff was okay, rest of us were heavy!
In the afternoon, I practiced many time, but still not felt good.
Until 4:20pm, P2 still have a lot of people, it took me 15 min. wait for lift.
I ended at 5:30pm, arrived home ~8:30pm
