From Shogun to Powder

This ski trip actually began in 1980 while I was still in grade school. The original airing of the original Shogun (the day I’m writing this it was announced that the star of that mini-series Richard Chamberlain has passed away) really caught my attention and indeed fascination.

Skiing Bumps

I am not into skiing bumps. By bumps I mean piles of snow that have hardened up instead of piles of soft snow. Piles of soft snow can be carved through but not moguls you either go around them or over the top. I have been in mogul fields a couple of times but the problem is they are often formed only on the runs that are steep (and hence offer enough challenge without the bumps) and that combination keeps me off.
