“This was the season to get better. I joined tom’s Big Picture Skiing. I made every turn with purpose and skied 99% of the time in my own. I got people to video me. Result. I had three different Instructors come up to me saying I’m skiing totally different or better. I feel totally different and I’m not done yet!”
