Wow what a bluebird day up at Park City.  For the first time since 1992 I got out on a SL board.  Billy and I traded Sigi SL and Kessler SL boards with Dave ripping on the F2 SL. It was a fun filled slalom day for sure.  Definitely took me a while to get used to being on such a short board.  After years of riding nothing shorter than 180cm a 167 is a completely different beast.  The new boards ride a lot different than I remember.  I was never a big fan of slalom but these boards might make me change my mind as it felt more like a mini gs turns at ¾ the speed.  Give me a few more days like today and maybe, just maybe, I will start to like slalom a lot more.  Also Billy gave Flavia a few pointers and she is making some improvements.  It always amazes me that when I tell her something she ignores me but if Billy tells her the same thing she pays attention.  Must have something to do with she is used to ignoring me most of the time haha.  On our last run down we hit the NASTAR course…ask Billy who won.  Anyway after a great day on the hill we hit Squatter’s for a beer and some food.  If you are in the area and you like a dark beer make sure and try their new Outer Darkness brew, it’s a very tasty beer for sure.  Looks like 7 out of the next 10 days are calling for snow so should be real good up there so get up there and make some turns.
