[NMCCSC] Yesterday's Outing

[william white via NMCCSCeGroup]

Way to go, indeed, Amy!
Congratulations on your efforts!
I am self- taught tele: get a lift ticket, Chair2 at Sandia (when it’s
running), is perfect (and when there’s snow)! You don’t need the skinning
practice, get more time doing turns!
Think Snow (and 50-50 weight distribution)!
