Ski resolutions for the new year?

[Gloria]

I am trying not to lose so much money, ha ha...

I can save the dollars in the front of my boots, but...

When I try to save the 10 spot between my legs ( aka: Snowhot's Virgin Clutch ) AND keep the quarter from dropping from my tush, well I seem to lose alot of quarters after about 10 turns when my legs get tired. DD jokes with me and tells me I only get nickels because I lose so much money. I have some excercises on the Bosu I am using to retrain that muscle memory though, we shall see....

work on 'form'. I can ski most anything, but now I want to do so gracefully, but will never be able to get close in form to my 80 year old idol who skis like he's in a ballet.

Dloveski -- love this statement! I'm finding that I can find some way down just about any slope these days too, but yeah, gracefully, that's the ticket -- someday, I want to be more graceful! There are plenty of runs that it's "any way I can get to the bottom and still be in one piece counts as a perfect run," and I'd love to feel more competent at them. I watch DH ski down, and other people too, and think, how can it be so easy while I'm struggling so hard to stay on top of the skis.

One time, I asked DH about this, and he said, no, YOU looked like it was easy! No way! He's just being nice, I'm sure!

1. Learn to teli ski
2. Stay forward and in control in the jagged monster bumps
3. Huck a smallish cliff, 10 ft or less, at speed. (I have done it from a stopped postion)
