Skis on
Volkl AC fiddy - it's unreal with the Marker WideRide binding; The Mantra for a fat ski (which isn't really that fat anymore); and I still love slalom skis.

Just read
The new Children's Instruction Manual - nice job. Last real book was The Grapes of Wrath (yes it was recently - I never had to read it in school and felt like I missed out).

Coolest place I've ever been
Southern Utah desert - there is no place on earth like it, so I won't try to describe it.

Top three off-snow activities:
1) Biking, preferably mountain biking, but I'm getting into road riding
2) Working on my house - you said top three not favorite
3) Golf, but I rarely have the time

First ski outfit
Blue jeans, old Roffe jacket with the colored stripes down the sleeves, one of those "chicken hats" with the three points that said Wilmot Mtn. on it, and some old, old, Cebe goggles with a bright yellow lens.

The best thing about coaching the PSIA Alpine Team
Traveling to the divisions. I've spent a lot of days in the Northwest, and Central - I still would like to make it to the Eastern Division
