But if I go on Monday or Tuesday it shouldn't be a big deal. Not sure how effective group lessons are if there's a lot of people, but a private lesson is $239 and that's out of my price range. The shop waxed up my skis when I bought them, so maybe I'll try to stretch the current wax out for a few more seasons. JK, lol, I guess I will look into getting some fresh wax. What ever wax the shop applied to the bottom was gone 16 ski days ago. New skis need lots of wax to penetrate deep into the pores of the base p-tex. 1 Quote

I honestly don't like to blame equipment but sounds like that might be a contributing factor. Quote

You never answered if there any are grey or white patches on the bottoms near the metal. Quote

I'm nice and toasty and getting ready to play Age of Empires 2 while watching the state of the union. I'll post once I check. Quote

I wasn't planning on going this week since I'll be skiing all next week and spending bank. It's so windy here that I bet the snow is blowing off all the steeps and revealing the icy layer below. 1 Quote

Get your skis tuned and see...if your edges are dull you're going to have a bad time on icy slopes and if your bases are dried out your skiing won't be as efficient. Quote

Once I get my bases waxed and take an intermediate group lesson at Stowe I'll be the most efficient skier on the mountain and ready to ski Corbet's Colour and increase my stats at an even more efficient rate. My stats will be so good the mods will get jealous and start deleting sessions like they're currently doing to TP4. Edited January 31, 2018 by saltyant 1 1 Quote

No, if your in the back seat you can't engage the shovels correctly and everything else sucks accordingly. Generally if your in the backseat it's because your afraid and human's reaction is to sort of half ass the turn. I'm not busting on you every single skier in the world "holds up" when they don't like the snow they are seeing or whatever. Are you sure your not just tired ? Cycling is a fantastic sport that really can prep some of the muscles and shit for skiing but it's a totally different motion and application of force, skiing is a holding application that's more hip abductors and rectus femoris. If your muscles are shot your going to ski like shit and your definitely not going to engage the ski with the same kind of snap and power as when your fresh. Same thing inbetween the ears, run after run after run on the same handful of trails is going to put your brain to sleep, no passion = shitty skiing. Take a break, go to Stowe and ski with passion, drive the ski and see if you don't feel better about skiing. 3 Quote

Tell matt edge I had breakfast for dinner at the Eat and Park. I never know what the different types of eggs are, so I just told them to give me the same meal that's pictured on the menu. So I got eggs with whites and the yolk in the middle, some kind of meat, and fried potato slices. They really need to open some Eat and Parks in eastern PA. Quote

I think I skied too much and that kind of depleted my stoke level, which has translated into backseat skiing from lack of passion. I used to ski 12 hour sessions and not get bored at all, so I think i need to do it more in moderation and try new things. When I go out of my comfort zone and try something new, like glades, moguls or demoing RTMs, I have a stupid ear to ear smile all day long. Just haven't had that lately. Hopefully Stowe will bring back my passion for skiing. When I'm enjoying it and having fun I never feel stuck in the backseat. Edited January 31, 2018 by saltyant Quote
