Monday night session
- It's icy condition! So, we works on edging.
- Edge is created by inclination and angulation
- One tactics is for student paired up, holding hands and pull against each other, then try to incline and angulate on edges
- problem: My toe side has not enough inclination to create angle on toe edge. I think I need to increase my cowboy stance to allow more pressure on edge

Saturday
- Benoit runs a session on exploring terrain. We got some fresh powder so we go hit Skyline for some deep powder.
- Tips riding on powder: 1) laying backward to keep head above snow 2) easy edging, let the board flow on snow (there wasn't really much edge on powder, anyway) 3) slow pivoting

Sunday
- ezio runs a session with us on craving
- tips on craving is to have a right shape, size against the slope
- bend your knee!!
- constant flex and extension to compress and turn smoothly
- anticipation play big part, tactic is to do hand-touch-inside-knee on toe turn and hand-touch-on-butt on heel turn. This enforce the antipication
