I don't relax while I'm driving to the ski area, or when I'm walking with my skis to the ticket counter, or after I've booted up in the lodge. The first time I relax and enjoy my day is when I snap into my bindings. :lol:

I relax when I get on the lift after the 1st lift line builds.
I rush to get in as many early runs with no lines and fresh tracks as a can. When the gang all arrives I take a deep breath and relax and look back at what I got in early.

yea, what blacknblue said. i am excited in the morning of any ski day, so i dunno if i ever am truly "relaxed" on a ski day. i certainly relax on the drive up as i usually leave really early and have an easy drive up. it's when i stop relaxing that always kills me... the manchester 293 entrance on i93 south :evil: and even worse after crossing over into MA. thankfully don't have to worry about that any more :)

Days I am working at the ski area I do not relax until my shift is over(ski patrol) or until lessons are over (when I instruct).Other ski days...as soon as I can see the mountain coming into view.

I think I relax when I get to start my run. When I'm on the chair I'm ussually anxious to get to the top and ski!
