  1. On the first day of his safari Horton skied with a 38 year old greenhorn that can't even run the course at full speed (I finally ran it several times this weekend at 30 mph and I'm pumped!). We all had a blast. He may be many things but an elitist isn't one of them!
  2. The thread on West Coast style got me to thinking about a question Horton asked me the other day on his safari. He asked "Have you been watching videos of Marcus Brown?" I haven't been watching Marcus Brown. I've read a little about "west coast style" but thats it. I've never formally tried to ski that way. Actually its the opposite, I've been trying like crazy to get more stacked. Keep in mind that I'm a greenhorn hacking my way through the course, just trying to learn the basics and I don't really know what "school" or "style" I'm skiing. As I was looking at pictures taken recently of me skiing I realized why Horton asked the question. Unbeknown to me it looks like I've some west coast tendencies. This form is apparently natural to me as I've never even considered skiing with this style. As a matter of fact, I'm trying my best to get more stacked.

     

    Question is should I go with it or work away from it and try to get more stacked? Or am I way off base? Does this not even resemble the West Coast style? Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated.

  3. This vest was bought new within the last month and has been worn three times. I am on the upper end of the XL size chart (35 waist, 44 chest) and decided to go up a size to XXL. It is to big. I've since replaced it with an XL and now need to sell the XXL. $90 shipped.
