Comment on The Education of a Ski Instructor, Part Three by Bob Berwyn

I’ve long felt that Schoolmarm is one of the best beginner trails … I taught my son so much on that long run. I think it’s the continuity of making turn after turn after turn that helps create the muscle memory, so much better than short bursts interrupted by lift rides.

Love this! Reminds me a little of a NewWest essay I wrote a few years ago: http://newwest.net/main/article/confessions_of_a_free_heel_fanatic/

Love this, Peter. It really evokes the transformational feel of that era.

I wanted to let you know some exciting news about the 10th Mountain Division, in case you ever want to write a sequel to Climb to Conquer (which I have sitting on my desk as I type). And no, I don’t have the other guy’s book! Thanks to the Eagle Valley Library District, the 10th Mountain Division newspapers (The Camp Hale SkiZette and The Blizzard) are now available online. You can access them at no charge in the Colorado Historic Newspapers Collection (www.coloradohistoricnewspapers.org). Let me know if you have any questions. Enjoy!

Peter – I’d like to know if the Film/TV rights to CLIMB TO CONQUER are available, or if you have an agent I can contact about the rights. Please send me an email at lstilleasst@paradigmagency.com at your earliest convenience.

Comment on Slow Lift Movement by Bob Berwyn

Hi Peter, lovely meditation on lifts, life and skiing. Reads as though you might have composed it on a long, slow chairlift ride. To paraphrase the GD, So many rides, so many rides …

Ah, loved this column. I think she took respite at your peaceful, quiet, loving house.

I hope you had a good ski at the horn. Enjoy Aspen and the empty slopes; and a really cool switch-er-roo 180 back-side flip seat drop.

Love you! C
