The truth is it's just too far from San Francisco to get to a ski hill to prepare for Level 2. However, I continue to practice my crave turns and other stuffs as much as possible, whenever I have a chance.

Fortunately, I was able to go up to Northstar and Sugerbowl 4 times so far, plus 4 half days up Camp Fortune when I was back to Ottawa.

Note to self:
- Toe side turn still need more knee bending to maximize edge on snow, remind self to assume cowboy stands, and to rotate shoulder more to complete the turn fully
- Need earlier turn initiation, ez10 suggests to rotate shoulder slightly before pivot. However, I've a tendency to lean out too much and skid out on heel side.
- Still pretty static when on edge into the turn
- For moguls, need to bend knee more and absorb the bump. Since I do not have the ability to turn so quickly and align to the mogul, I have to adapt to the terrain by go through a few bumps before making a turn. This provides enough time to make the turn to happen
