This is what you're doing wrong.

Today started with lessons on how to change your skiing style to different situations such as gradient, snow depth/weight etc. Spent most of the day skiing powder to put into practice what Wendy had explained to us earlier. We went up Polar Peak again and skied basically the same line down; Barely Legal into Papa Bear. We then dropped into Easter bowl and skied the fresh lines that were sat waiting in the trees. To finish a great day on the hill a few of us decided to go have a look at the Fernie mountain bike dirt jumps just on the outskirts of town to see if anything was skiable. 


Fernie Bike Park - you can just about make out the snow covered dirt jumps




The drop in is a lot slower on skis but you could just about clear the first small one if you tried hard. The main attraction though was the rail that had been put up. I was too concious about my knee to give it a go and risk doing more damage, but Will had a few successes: 





This boat was lit sent down here in tribute to a local who died, and his ashes spread  on the mountain. This is what remained of the boat and is now a recognised run in the resort

That's so Raven!
