Outstanding day of skiing yesterday on my first day of season!
So good I didn't even take pictures or video!
First day of the season was a good one with 3 inches of powder and more snow during the day. This was also my first time using my hot iron for waxing my skis and holy crap were they fast. I did it right apparently because it felt like the skis wanted to run away from me and I was having to keep up with them. I got the Demon United kit from Amazon and after the base wax I put on the modified hydrocarbon. Crazy Fast!
I just don't understand people who buy lift tickets to ski then spend half the day in the lodge, on the decks, or in general NOT skiing. I make sure to get my money worth with my season pass by spending as little time as possible not on the lift or skiing. Yesterday was good with 20 runs and 41 miles of distance covered. I figure about half of that is lift rides so I skied about 20 miles of downhill and OMG does my body hurt.
I'm hoping that I can recover quickly but my out of shape ass is feeling pretty worked. The good part is that the pain comes from a good and full day of skiing so it easier to deal with.

If in sports, both body and mind are healthy. carry on, good luck my friend.
Great exercise if you can get it. I used to stick to cross country skiing. First and only time down hill I managed to break an ankle! Bad mojo!
As would be the nature of things, yesterday the mountain woke up to 20" of powder from fresh snowfall... and here I sat at home dreaming. Sunday will be the day though!
