How to be a Trail Gaper (Picking Your Skiing Line)

When did I start searching for the line to ski down the trail?

It has become a ritual to ski up to the fall line of a slope and decide how to ski down the mountain. When I was much younger, I would get off the lift and immediately start skiing down the slope as fast as possible. (many times having the trip become a spectacular yard sale). It wasn't until my son became my skiing partner that I started to first look out at the vista all round us and visually enjoy the moment; then, it was the business of trying to figure out what line or path I would take to the bottom. Over the years, my son has completely surpassed my skill level and I must rely on a few tricks to have any chance of beating him to the liftline below. I will give you my secrets as in my blog, I will cover my experiences skiing and enjoying the company of those avid skiers who have made the daytrips and ski vacation adventures memorable. I will give you my insight into specific trails. Let me know what you know as I am far from being an expert and if I have any information special deals on lift tickets we can share that too.
