re: #212 Aceofwhat?

As someone who learned at 20 after skiing since 5, I find the simple motion of carving down the hill more enjoyable on a board. I don’t know why…it feels like more of a ride.

But i put my skis on when the terrain is bumpy. I’m dumb but i’m not stupid//

I had a hell of a weekend…good snow. Sunday morning, I was asked to open one of the ridge-lines, and check on a sled we had stashed near the ski area boundary for back country rescues. First hike, I thought I passed it, so I skied down, and took the three lifts required to get back around to the front of the mountain. I hiked the summit again so I could go check the sled (didn’t want to fail at a simple task). This time, I traversed around a small peak and skied the ridge for another 1/4 mile before realizing that the traverse I took looped me around the sled. I was so pissed I actually hiked back up the ridge…took me damn near an hour, and pretty much had me exhausted before 11am. Still, the snow was good—at least up top—it turned to heavy crud for the last 1000 vertical…and I survived the day.
