Flatstar is horrible. I've never understood why so many people go there.

Kirkwood rocks.

I just got back from a 4 day trip at Kirkwood.

Tuesday and Wednesday were THE BEST powder days that I have ever gotten to ski.

:grin:

Yeah it was sweet!

Actually some of the bast powder was oven in the Palisades area. You have to traverse almost all the way to the out of bounds signs, but it was definetly worth it!

You want me to scan in the sheet. I'll do it. I swear I will. But the main reason I was so fast is because there was only 3 other people on course with me. But 2 of them were turning 23.5 second times. To bad only one was consistent enough to pass me.

I only have 2 turns where I lose time. That turn 6 but I got better at it. The guy that was turning 23 second times didn't do what Noel said. This guy just goes slower and starts wide then transfers to the apex and exit fast and close to the opposite wall. It worked a bit, but difficult to nail down exactly where to start slowing down.

I managed to clean up that small section there but that long right into a tightened right hander I am having trouble getting through that without losing too much speed.
