Week 4
- Monday night Richard done some riding with me and Pat. We tried some craving, experiment with orllie, nose press, tail press, spin on snow (180 and 360), and 180 front-side hop
- Saturday, Benoit has us trying turns on steeper terrain (black diamond). The focus is to have flex and extension to allow pivoting happened on the steep slope. Speed control is done via wider turn and uniform shape. Speed = size+shape+slope

Week 5
- Monday is just too cold to go night session (even I was up there for 2 runs.....)
- Saturday, Norm gave another session on advanced sliding turn. The focus is on "twist the cap off a jar (with the knee)", it's almost like flexing the board torsionally to achieve earlier pivot (so snow spread upward or sideway)
- Sunday, Richard presents terrain adaption, stress on independent legs movement. One tactic is to traverse across moguls hitting the top and bottom of it. He also gave an introduction to wall-riding. The simplest way is to ride up and down on the same track. The trick is to make sure lay backward on the way up (to unload front foot), and lean forward on the way down (to unload back foot). The other way to look at it is you are ride up the wall normal and weight shifting to come down on switch. The other way is to up the wall, hop 180ish to come down on the same side, like what is done on a half-pipe.
