Ankle=balance.

I talk about fore/aft flex alot when discussing boots. I believe alot of skiers choose boots that are too stiff.

Lateral flex bad...fore/aft flex good.

I apologize that the credits are very hard to read at the end, you can see them better on the higher res version.

This gathering seems like a million years ago now, but I rewatched this video again for the first time since a few days after it was posted. Really cool. I forgot how much fun that day was. A ton of AZers!

You don't want to spend a day there, but a weekend is ok? [insert head scratching smilie here]

Misunderstood, I thought you meant you wanted an overnight and 2 days of skiing Hunter.

Does it really matter? You run out of gas after about 2 hours anyway.

I'm just bustin' too, but I do recall a lot of early afternoon stops during your little jaunt in Vermont last month. What up wit dat? Like madskier says, "gotta go till the final shot is fired..."

Because I start my day at 8:00AM and don't stop..I like empty early runs..and getting lots of laps in before the masses descend..If I skied in a large group stopping at the middle of the run to film and stopping at the bottom to wait for the slowpokes..I'd last longer..but I like to ski nonstop..and when I'm beat..I'm beat....I go by the old poker adage..quit when your ahead and cash in your chips..to avoid getting myself injured on that..."Last run" at 3:55PM in flat light..
