Just keep the straps around the wrists... ready to get off and ski. Lift attendants have never said a thing about it. Always sure to not have them pointed at, or near anyone. Let them dangle Or I'll stick them under a leg if it is busy.

Guess I'm gonna have to step it up a bit and start falling more. At least you folks haven't roasted me for starting this thread, yet.

Just curious how many times others have fallen in a season. Was it an epic fail, total yard sale, just a quick queef bouncing off a hip, did your skis release? Met a ski instructor years ago who was proud that he never fell. At that time I was skiing hard and falling probably at least once a...

Stop YOUR whining "When I was in my 20's I probably ate/drank more at ski areas then I did when I had kids. With kids we packed lunch." Glad to hear you've grown up... ;-)

Will start next season with my legs in better condition. I'd like to be able to ski more than a couple hours of laps before the legs turn to rubber. At 65 I ski about as fast as I dare. Enjoy speed, bumps and powder...all at once when possible. Conditioning is key for improvement.

I may head up just to take a run or two and "support my bartender" Tuesday.

When is it too cold to ski? I don't do crowds and don't like arctic cold! My pass isn't good for the Holiday period anyway. That is peachy with me. Spend some quality time in the gym doing leg work. Practice guitar, piano, watch some movies... This week is going to be a freezer. Gotta...

Today was great in the Presidentials. Very powdery! First tracks tomorrow should be very nice.

Doctor says I'm not allowed to run anymore, too jarring on the hips :-( Still walk 4-8 miles per day unless skiing that day. Just my gut feeling, running is for skinny people. Running definitely would work the quads, in particular..hill work.

Time to wake up another thread. I know there are a lot of young bucks here who can rise before sun up, hike a mountain, ski a couloir, repeat, then get home after sunset and feel great. For me, at an advanced age, skiing a few hours then finding the bar is challenge enough. Years ago I'd wake...

Where can I find some of this powder everyone is talking about? :snow: :wink:

Today makes 8. Velvety powder at Loon this morning.

BD, thanks for the driving conditions concern. Hadn't considered that. I don't have to drive as far as you but, always a concern. NOAA is predicting most snow will fall in the AM Wednesday then tapering in the afternoon. I usually like to get out early. Tuesday may be a good day for a late...

I have a problem! A first world problem... When to ski this week. Loon or Cannon? Ski Monday on what is left after a weekend, or ski in a snow storm on Tuesday, or see what left on Wednesday? Ski all three days or any combination, and then evaluate? What does the collective braintrust here...

Loon was fun today. Sunny in the AM, overcast after lunch. Lots of snow making going on. Looking forward to the real White Stuff. ;-)

Oh hell, time for an old story. In white out conditions, decided to ski a favorite run. Drop Out Chutes at Mammoth Mountain. The snow conditions were, skied off hard pack...slick and steep, double diamond. So, on about the second turn an unseen bump knocked me off my edges. Earlier in the day...

Had a Peak Organic "The Juice" apre ski the other day at Loon and was pleasantly surprised by their "beer of the day".

My (vintage) Fischer Predator Jacket has a zip on the left sleeve which when opened reveals a clear plastic pass card holder. They scan it once and tend to remember.
