but what really helped me this season was an unplanned trip into the trees that gave me a concussion and a few other lumps and bumps. I had been lectured about being on the nose by the following in alphabetical order : Bola, D.T., Inkaholic, Joel P, Pcdenver...., but it took that offpiste excursion for me to realize that getting low and staying centered was the best way for me to improve. Ride with others and listen to their advice, even if it may seem silly and simple, but most importantly, take the time to hear what they are telling you. It can save you a lot of agony.
