Plattekill was pretty sweet. They had 3" of fresh snow on top of some hard pack, and nothing was groomed. I went down Powder Puff to warm up, and then started bombing Sundown and Shredded Mozzarella. I learned to link turns, and I barely ever catch edge now, which is awesome. The only bad thing that happened to me was my pants ripped all the way through along the seam right next to the fly all the way to the top of the inseam. I got some duct tape from the shop and patched it up, and it worked for a little while until the tape came off on one side. I hope Orage has a good warranty or hopefully the shop I bought them from can replace them, because I don't think pants should rip the second day you're wearing them.
