I had to try the NTN this month, so I went straight from school to Snoqualmie for the Marmot demo. Why? 'Cuz where else can you ski in the rain in January? :
It was actually sweet sking where others had gone, but any fresh was pretty grabby. I ran into Silas again---the guy is ubiquitous---and had some fun runs with Kneel Turner and Julie.
The NTN was definitely a great platform. It took about 3 turns before I was on top, and I really liked the upright stance, ease of use, and power in both tele and parallel turns.
