Finally come back to Ottawa and start snowboarding. I get off the plane on Sunday and went up the hill on Monday night. Since I missed the first 2 weeks, this is really week 3 of snowboarding...

Snow, man made Sat monday session

Monday night
- Norm gave us a progression on hop 180
- It is start with spin on the snow, both front-side and back-side
- Then do 180 hop on the front-side, the trick is to hop after into the turn. This is somewhat easier in that if you are unable to land 180, at least you are not catching the edge
- As we progress, should allow to hop earlier into the turn. At the end, hop on fall-line
- We also try out some ramp and the table

Saturday morning
- ez10 got us tried to do early edging
- One drill is to hop to change edge as we crossing the fall-line, instead of extend and pivot

Sunday morning
- Benoit continues on the theme of week: edging
- "lift up the heel" and "point up the toe"
- clock turn, pivot on high 11 o'clock
- sponsor turn, focus on increasing the edge angle
- water out of the boot, focus on (again) increase the edge angle to clear water out of the boots
- toe-2-toe turn to focus on one edge
