27th and 28th for the PSIA-W Convention at Mammoth was pretty fun, spent a day on the snow with Ron "... or, we could just go get a couple of 12-packs ..." Kipp (kidding, of course), with a Kiwi instructor that should have known better than to ask, somebody, not sure who, "Are you a Monty Python fan?" to which I replied "This here's the wattle it's the emblem of our land, you can stick it in a bottle, you can hold it in your hand! The rest of the day was hilarity, including an afternoon clinic with a self-described "Seenager" (look it up, plenty of links). Super hard exiting the ramp skiers left from the top of 1 for the first few runs, thought I was in New England or something! By 10 it was starting to get nice, so I skied pretty much until just about closing time. If it weren't for that drive from San Diego...
