Wow. You got a lot of video. Nice job. I knew I was compressing yesterday and not extending well. I would eventually run out of travel and bail or fall down. We hammered it pretty hard. I'm cooked today.

I had the same problem, along with a general lack of turning...

Pretty tired today, but my legs are surprisingly not very sore. I thought they'd be more beat since I hadn't skied since two weeks ago, and no real bumps for 3 weeks...

Like the rest my face and neck are burnt pretty bad. Suprisengly my body isn't that sore today.

Nice video, love the snow flying on every turn. Group shots are cool too.

MRJ, is that you almost running into that guy? Similar thing happened to me at K yesterday.

could one of the Belleayre regulars give me some idea of crowd situation mid-winter, non-holiday weekends?

my arms are sore today. i really noticed how "long" my poles were yesterday... between the pitch and size of the bumps it seemed like my hands were over my head most of the time.

Yeah that was me. I had to go into crash mode. It was all my fault though, he was just standing there. You looked like you got cut off and then exchanged some kind words. Am I wrong? I loved the stare down.

:lol: That's why I left that in there. I actually was apologizing to him, but it looks like we were pissed.

My whole body has gotten progressively sore-er today. Oof. Watched that video a few time. What pathetic skiing on my part. As much as I love Sundown, I need to get on some bumps with more pitch.

Generally very short to non existent lines if it's not a Potter Brothers flex Sunday (they offer tickets for like $24 if you buy them at a Potter brothers ski shop). Sometimes the flex days get busy but the non holiday weekends are very manageable particularly if you get there early and work your way west as the people arrive. Longest I've waited ever is probably 15-20 minutes and that was due to a poor choice on my part.
