  16. NASTAR discontinued at Blue?

    There's no way I would have tried Nastar at Blue with it being on Razor's Edge. At least not anytime soon. I'll ski Razor's Edge, but skiing it with gates... nah. Maybe at some point I would have gotten up the nerve to try it, but Timberline at Bear or Switch at Montage look to be more my speed. I don't want to have to deal with the gates, as well as a pretty steep (for me) pitch.

    Had a great time last night taking the new skis out for a spin! They did a really great job of gripping in all but the iciest of conditions. Here they are in all of their beauty... happy little clouds and all.

    You know.. they did say that on the flyer, but I would say it was more a ton of intermediates and even a couple beginners. Maybe a few ladies in my group could have been considered advanced, but they put me in the "adventurous" group, and I wouldn't call myself more than an advanced intermediate at best, and some days not even that. :unsure: One lady who attended the clinic had just skied for the first time within the last week or so. She should definitely check out a women's clinic in the future! Of the two I've attended (last year I attended Bear Creek's), both times they've done a great job of matching skiers of similar abilities, and everyone has always been very supportive and friendly. I think with "intermediate" they're mostly wanting you to have some experience skiing, and not be a never-ever first-timer.

    I had a great time at the clinic! Personally, I would have preferred to spend more time on East Mountain on the steeps because that's a weakness of mine. The steeper it is, the more old, bad habits creep back in. But our group also wanted to spend some time in the bumps and trees, so we only did a handful of runs over there.

     

    The gates were fun, but they didn't close ridge run, so random people kept flying into the race course. The instructors were trying to get people to stay off the course, but were only so successful at that.

     

    Overall, it was very well organized and well run. They had a group for everyone, from beginners up to our very large intermediate/adv intermediate group. I think 20-some people attended the clinic?
