Midday (11-130) GS training lane again. Insane traffic, so I got on snow just before 12. Sunny, temps in the 30s.

Like yesterday, two sections (though a bit longer today). One off the top pitch and across the flat, and one on the bottom of the main pitch and through the timing flats. Much more swing today; Dykster set with his athletes in mind. Needed to be much rounder than yesterday, and some gates required (me, at least) to redirect. I didn't ski all that well tactically, though technically I think my skiing is doing okay. There were a few turns where I hit everything right and the ski really came around nicely.

I'm pinching the line a bit when I really just need to be rounder.

Timingwise, though, I'm doing alright. I was less than a second off of Broc on the bottom course (~20 sec) and he was definitely snapping off some sweet arcs while training full strip. Definitely a lot of room for improvement on my side, but it'll come.
