Day 17 - Thursday 1.14.10 - Keystone: I made a hookey from work day trip with Rory to Keystone to have a "double day!" We started with our tele gear and I worked on my tele turn for the morning (no music in the helmet...focus dude) - slide here, link here, poles here, slide here, make a "C" here, link again here, tele turn too soon here, just right there - I'll get it soon! OMG but I am committed 100% for sure - I'll get it down and will be gracefully linking tele turns down the mountain in no time (I hope...OK - really I pray)! After some tele lessons from Rory/fun (I didn't get frustrated - who could with a coach like that) - we went to the truck and strapped on our alpine gear and literally flew down the mountain playing "follow the leader" for a couple of hours (enter helmet music...Kid Rock (not the "rock" but the Kid...see earlier blogs), Beastie Boys, G&R, and some REK for the mellow - no lunch break - just some hard, fast skiing for a couple of hours. Following each other's tracks - no bumps as the nada snow and groomers provided not much POW to push around - but it was an absolute ball - FAST skiing that went by way to fast. I fear the day that I enter the NASTAR course with her - but bring it on. Ended the day with a couple of slices of pepperoni pie and some pictures on Loveland Pass on the way back to Denver.
