Barb Posted March 15, 2019 Report Share Posted March 15, 2019 Went back into the park today. The access road to the area we were going just reopened late yesterday afternoon due to Wednesday’s storm. It was a gorgeous day and we arrived about 10:30 to sunny skies and no wind. The skin up started mellow then got steep. I am still figuring out the best way to go about things and on a particularly steep section I started to slide backwards a bit. Thought I would have more traction if I put one ski into the powder and get it out of the skin track. That was a huge mistake. I then tried to get it back on the track but it seemed harder to do then it should have been. Since my heel was loose whenever I lifted my ski the nose just stayed in the foot of powder. Here is a picture of how ridiculous this was. Overall a great day and I have a lot to learn with the transitions/etc. A well deserved lunch in town after.

indiggio Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 Nice! Is that an elk, buffalo or vegan burger? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barb Posted March 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 Yes Doug, blonde with unicorn head. Lol. I finished half the fries. Only had some Ezekiel bread w peanut butter for breakfast so I was hungry. That burger was lunch and dinner. And it was a beef burger. Too hungry for a veggie burger.

Barb Posted March 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 (edited) No action shots as I was in front of Shannon. She is just learning to ski and I give her a lot of credit for basically learning this way. It wasn’t pretty. I still feel like my form goes to hell in powder. I have to learn just to trust the skis and let them run. I must say the Zelda’s felt good though! Skied the powder much better then my other ones.

RidgeRacer Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 Please, don't say 'all the guys' when the only idiot that said that was Doug. It took me a minute to figure out what Doug was referring to when he mentioned blonde hair actually. Pretty amazing how he saw that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barb Posted March 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 The area we went to in the park was formerly a ski area, closed in the early 90’s. Found an old trail map. We were in the area I circled but have no idea which ‘Trail’ we took down. Will have to pay more attention next time.

Barb Posted March 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2019 Ordered this backpack. Decided to get a snow specific pack that fits all the avy gear properly. Have a shovel and beacon on order and found a used probe at a local shop. Can’t wait till all my stuff is in and I go out again!Also picked up this book. Lots of good spots in the park when I get more comfortable. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
