I had the great fortune to spend a week at Ski Paradise in Acapulco the week of April 5th. http://www.skiparadise.com/
I have to say that this is a trip that any serious slalom skier should make at least once in their career. If I cold afford it I would go twice a year.
Gordon and Gabriella are terrific people and great hosts. The accommodations, staf, food, and atmosphere are outstanding. And the ski site is great with two slalom courses and a comfortable palapa for hanging out while the rest of the gang gets their sets in .
I have a few photos on my web page from the trip.

There was some great coaching and the other guests were the best. It is such a great experience being surrounded by people who 'get it' when it comes to slalom. I had a chance to ride a new HO Monza with some success.
I went with my son Richard as a sort of College Graduation celebration. I think got a lot out of the trip as well. and t was a great opportunity for us to hang out before he moves on to the next phase of his life.. Richard is working up a trip report that we may post later.
Have a good season you guys. We are look at fresh snow at the moment, but the ice is out as of Thursday.
