Conditions look great @skilibertymtn

It is 8:30am and the lifts are starting up. I am grabbing a coffee before heading to the backside to warm up. The conditions look perfect. Clear skies and groomed pistes.

This lunch time I am in the CLC (children's Learnjng Center) for a 2 hour session.

Great to be back on snow @skiliberty

Skiliberty opened last weekend and this weekend got a great boost with a snow storm dropping a couple if feet of powder on the resort.

Today is my return instructor training day. One of the great things about Liberty Mountain is the quality of the ski instructors. The resort invests a lot of time and effort to improve the skills of their instructors. It is one of the perks if the job that the instructors get to be coached by some of the best if their peers.

Today I was lucky enough to be in a group led by Tom, one of the most senior instructors. Tom always taps in to his vast reservoir of experience developed over about 30 years of teaching and finds something to improve in your skiing.

After a morning skiing in powder- a pretty rare occurence in thus part of the east coast- and working on teaching skills, it is now time for a short break before heading back out in to the falling snow for more honing of our teaching skills.

See you on the slopes at Liberty Mountain. Come and say hi! We can take pictures and post on Twitter and make others jealous because they aren't up here at @skiliberty.
