There’s one thing I have no time for anymore – piste / trail maps. For a start they’re made of paper which, as well as being environmentally wasteful, tends to get tatty, soggy and unreadable in no time at all.

It’s the end of another great week on the 11-Week NonStop instructor course. The focus of Week 3 has been further preparation for our CASI Level 1 exam. Meg, our instructor for this week, has continued to work through the skills pyramid, which includes the 5 skills:
Stance & Balance, Pivot/Steering, Edging, Pressure Control, Timing & Coordination.
On Tuesday we had a fresh dump of snow on the mountain, allegedly 5CMs, but it seemed to me to be more like 10. We worked on our skills down a fantastic run through the trees in Siberia Bowl (Morning Glory), and also made use of the powder to hit a jump and practice some different grabs.
