Powder Magazine is publishing some of their heritage articles for their 45th Anniversary.
In this issue, they're re-publishing our own @Weems Westfeldt 's Secrets of the Steep - Tricks to break your psyche barrier.
Some of us have had the good fortune of getting some first hand instruction from Weems on this topic.
I recall @margaritamarcia telling a story of intimidating snow conditions and how Weems helped her get over it.
I recall standing at the top of AMF at Snowmass with Weems, timid to make the entrance. Weems talked to me about how I needed to figure out where my first turn was going to be, which I did, but I still stood there waiting for the timidity to go away. All at once I heard Weems boldly say, "MAKE THE DAMN TURN!!"
I did, and now I am eager to go back and ski AMF.
