Reliably over the knee...

John didn't fancy the whiteout today so Miche and I went out alone. We skied powder that was reliably up to the knee and sometimes higher. Visibility was variable, but down amongst the trees it was pretty good at times. We didn't go out until late, as we had hoped that the snow would clear up and the sun would come out, so the snow was pretty tracked out but there was still lots of fun to be had. Something definitely clicked for me today and today's technique seemed to work well; no face plants and it just seemed to work... I've no idea what was slipped into Miche's coffee this morning but she also had a great day; flying down the slopes faster than she would on a nicely groomed piste and turning so well in the deep stuff that at times I thought that someone else was wearing the same suit.. Her demo skis must have suited her; she'll write about all of these skis eventually, I'm sure... Even though our technique had improved we still found the deep stuff tiring so we were glad that we hadn't had a full day of it.
