You can handle it Dave. There are less hairy trails and pretty hairy trails and the conditions will be outstanding. Just don't follow that John L character around and you'll be fine.
At least the John L character notices ropes at head level... Oh!
I was looking forward to leading you in the woods at Plattekill this weekend, but have to work to be able to ski this VT trip.
And to be clear, I find the stupid stuff in VT, which I like skiing down. But I don't ski it anywhere near the same level as people like Josh. And the VT stupid stuff generally wont kill you, but it may mess with your ski bases, your ego and you may need to drop a 3-4 foot ledge in tight conditions. (Big air in the trees and in general is for folks like Josh.)
