    Slowboarder off to Alta tomorrow

    I've ridden 80+ days this season but skied only once. My skiing sucks. But I'm skiing Alta tomorrow as part of my goal to ski all the Utah resorts this season. Plus I want to have a closer look at the terrain and scope out all the shots I see on here time after time, in real life.

    Bear in mind I've only skied four days ever, a private lesson at DV in 2004/45, a day at Kmart and one at MRG last year, and finally one at Deer Valley this year.

    I can get down pretty much anything that's groomed. Any suggestions for runs etc I should do tomorrow?

    Incidentally, I will be calling for change at some point - so if you need a laugh, just watch

    Park at Albion and start on Sunnyside if you didn't already plan on doing that. Move quickly off of Sunnyside after one lap on Vail Ridge to see where your beginner ski skills are. Move over to Sugarloaf and bomb it to Supreme for a few runs. hit number nine and some of that stuff to get your skis under followed by a trip to Collins and all it's beauty. I am completely ashamed that I know this much about Sunnyside and groomers but you could say i have spent A LOT of time on them this winter with my kids. Have fun, Today was awesome.

    Thanks again for the help. Today was awesome, bluebird slushfest. You guys have got a really special place there. It's nice not to have any little thugs on 152s thinking they're the shit around, either.

    Back to Pow Mow & the board tomorrow though
