It would be nice to not feel like I am having a heart attack early season skinning. A gym that I belonged to about 15 years ago had one of these things, but I wasn't really skiing at the time and I never got a chance to try it. Looks kind of fun though. 1 Quote
Barb Posted October 31, 2022 Report Posted October 31, 2022 Ha! I looked at those, really expensive. But yeah, would love it if my gym would buy one. Quote

Barb Posted October 31, 2022 Report Posted October 31, 2022 Holy crap. My healed broken knee hurts just watching that 😂. Seriously though, thanks. Always looking for ski prep stuff. I do think you are just a fit beast with alien genetics and that’s why you don’t get sore or tired, you weirdo! Quote

Barb Posted October 31, 2022 Report Posted October 31, 2022 Depends; I am a creature of habit. Don’t like going outside my 5 mile square box in Boulder to get all my errands run. My gym is not the most well run. Yesterday I showed up at 7:30 and whoever was supposed to open I guess was too hungover. I waited until 8:15 then left. I was annoyed. Quote

Pretty much everything I do in Allentown is on my way to and from work. It’s probably why I only have 34,000 miles on my car in four years. My office says 8am on the door and the only time in there that early is when housekeeping comes but we are appointment only. Edited October 31, 2022 by GrilledSteezeSandwich Quote

It would be nice to not feel like I am having a heart attack early season skinning. That's pretty cool . I happened by a yard sale one year and snagged a Nordic Track for $15.00 LOL. I used it for 6yrs before having to replace a drive wheel $75.00 . I set it on the highest angle with a lot of resistance and put leg weights on . It's not quite what that gym has but it works ok . I'm in trouble this year though I haven't been on once yet . Quote

There are countless videos on progressing from barely a knee bend to all the way down, just takes time. 1 1 Quote

GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted November 4, 2022 Author Report Posted November 4, 2022 Loveland yesterday and they’re charging $99 full price for one run. At least you can buy tickets at the ticket office now. Quote

I appreciate Grilled Steeze posting this webcam picture. I get all my news from this site and wouldn't have known that there is snow at Arapahoe Basin Ski Resort because I don't go on any other websites on the interweb except for paskiandride.com. 1 1 Quote
