Quick freeski in the afternoon on the '19 SLs. Sunny, temps in the 40s. Three runs to try and feel the full arc. First run was down Jolly Jug and then to bonanza (skiers left). Skied okay, but Jolly was pretty piled up on the pitch. Still, tried to blast through the chunks and piles and commit to the arc. OK. Second run down hornblower, which was better.

Last run, tried Jolly again, and had to pull up on the pitch because of some people traversing slowly. Then, active across the flat, and stopped at the top of Bonanza (skiers right, near the new start house). Then, probably the best series of turns I've made in a long time. Committed to the outside ski, flexing in transition, and skiing everything full arc. Definitely larger than SL radius, but that's okay - it was strong, dynamic skiing. Left with a smile on my face.
