[2knees]

Was 2knees sporting snow pants?

At first glance I thought he was wearing jeans haha. Awesome vid and great skiing guys. Wish I could've made it.

jeans, snowpants.... geez guys.

i swear to god if i can find them and fit into them, i'm wearing my old school stretch pants next time.

Vimeo is way better. Thanks. Check out 2knees catching his breath (2:01) at the bottom of MrMagic's run... :lol:

yeah, i was sucking wind a few times. i'm really not in very good shape.

One thing I discovered recently is that sometimes on challenging terrain like that, I forget to breath, or I breath too slowly. I've been making a conscious effort to breath more often and more deeply. Sorta load up on oxygen when skiing mellow stuff like the upper Temptor flats. Learned that from rueler while mountain biking. He calls it "rolling recovery" and he'll slow his pace on mellower sections of trail and tries to suck in a lot of air. Results in less stopping and shorter breaks when you do need to stop. I've been trying to be more aware of my breathing while skiing now too.

On a more positive note it is only December 15th and PA, the Catskills, and SNE, are off to a pretty good start despite the insane amount of rain we have had.

It is only December 15th...feels much later

Thanks for the video Pat, it came out really well!

Sorry, for the misinformation about staying open during the week. It was our intent to do so, as it was the previous week. Our weather guy (New England Weather Services) tells us that we are in for warm rain every day this week. NOAA agrees with him. We are shooting for Friday, but even that is questionable with this forecast.
Skier traffic and slope maintenance in this kind of weather would have a negative impact on long term conditions.

You guys gotta do what you gotta do, it's just disappointing. Damn weather! I hope that it turns out better than expected and you're able to open on Friday!

sorry your airs didnt come out. my memory card kept filling up on me and i didnt get your second one. You saw the clip of your first one, it stopped in mid air.

No problem, we're not missing much anyway.

I'm definitely impressed by the video quality, especially since it's night. My point and shoot is pretty much useless at night.

speaking of night, you need to move out of that dark line you keep choosing. I had to edit out some of your skiing cause there was nothing to see. the dark jacket and that black hole on temptor dont make for very usable video.

I know, I like it over there for some reason. I should have worn the red jacket at least. Next time I won't utilize the lady's tee quite as much.

Yeah, really. Stop skiing those snowboarder push piles and ski the moguls, man!

57 degrees up there right now. What I wouldn't do to be skiing those bumps right about now...

HAHA you taking about the one that had the padding around the shins and knees? I was looking at some picture this past weekend and there was one of me wearing those kinda pants. I started LMAO. How did anybody (myself included) think those things looked good? :-o

Absolutely! Every CT skier owes it to himself to experience a CLITS bump bashing night first hand... :lol:

 

[Glenn]

I haven't skied bumps in years. I'm sure I'll provide some sort of enterainment.

No worries. It's about having fun. And once we get a hold of you we will convert you to a bumper in no time...
