Today was Lesson Day with the charming Ollie. I learned:
It all works fine on easy, cruisy runs, but still all falls apart when it gets too steep and I panic, oversteer, straighten my legs and bend too far into the hill (ie: do everything wrong). Eventualy, though, I'm sure it'll all be terribly useful information (which is why I wrote it down).
Went to the Après Ski at the Conference Centre. Felt ripped off for $30, but they were giving "free" massages, so at least I got something for my money. David also gave me his ticket to the Comedy Night at the Fairmont, which was great for the price (free). I might have felt less enthusiastic had I paid $65, though. The headlining comic, Suzanne Westenhoefer, was very funny, but not $65 funny. I mean really, I can go see Cirque du Soleil for that kind of money. These exhorbitant entry fees stagger me, and everyone else seems to cough them up without even blinking. Clearly they're seeing value where I don't, but I can't see what it might be.
Pics are here.
