Eric and I paid for a lesson with Gary Beresford - who has been teaching at Breck for 44 years! We were the only two students. I am still struggling with what seems to be a very loose heel in the new boots, and numb spots under the balls of my feet. Anyway we worked on getting short at the start of the bump, then rolling the legs across for the turn and not rushing the extension. This also turns out to be a great technique for starting from a stop without having to stem or step. Bluebird day. Still loving my new Arcteryx Sentinel jacket, which is totally windproof and also has what seems like the perfect collar design.
