I just dropped off our ski's for a full service tune up to be ready for the season. We will not have our ski's back until monday which means a big dump in ski country before then:lol:

The guy in the shop knows me and was not suprised that we where skiing yesterday.

I told Greg that sometimes you have to slow down to speed up.

I was actually trying that towards the end of the day, and it seemed to work quite well. Though being a rocket just deflecting bumps is more fun.

I like the way you think Austin. BTW, that was one hell of a display you put on yesterday. Very good bump skiing.

Thanks Pat. I definitely want to get out with you once you get in shape and get those bumps ski mounted. I think you need to get up to MRG.

Hmm. Who was it that was dancing with a lift tower on Chute again? :lol:

At least his face wasn't dancing with the ground on Standard.

Pwn5d...lolz
















(sorry, I promise I will never say that again)

Touché! :lol:

If you're not falling, you're not skiing, right?

That's the reason I said you're a good skier; you tucked in behind me those last couple of runs down Chute and stayed there. You never passed me and I was never really aware of you being there though I knew you were.

That kind of trust isn't too common for me regarding someone I'm skiing with the first day.

So hows the soreness going for everyone. My lower back is very stiff... just like it was after my day at Sugarbush last year. Ironically enough, that was my first time skiing bumps last year, a full 3 months later than this year. My legs surprisingly feel great though... already can't wait to get back out.

My lower back is the worst which is a byproduct of crappy form, i.e. backseat. Quads are fine. Hamstrings are tight. My butt cheeks hurt too - TMI, I know....you asked...

Funny how this discomfort feels so good though!

Same for me regarding the back... although I think mine might also be caused by me bending forward too much at the waist and not at the knees in the bumps. I noticed this in the video when I compared me to everyone else.

Shin pressure is very important, especially in the bumps.

I'm still fine...I think I was pretty sore already from raking leaves all weekend.

The skiing made me feel better, in more ways than one.

Thanks Jim. That's really the only way I can keep my speed down. If there is no one in front of me I automatically ski at full speed. Hopefully at Hunter there will be plently of bumps so I can do a little of both. Actually screw bumps, I want woods skiing.

I feel perfectly fine, but you guys probably already knew that. Man I want to go back to Mt. Snow right now! Damn school.

 

[Zand]

Never thought I'd hear you make that statement... in fact 2 years ago even I wouldn't have said that. Pretty easy to see that one good bump run sucks in AZ pretty good. Now we need MRG so we can have 40 good bump runs.

 

[Jonni]

Ohhh, I wish I could have been there. Too much work and school! Let's going skiing....

Pretty much every muscle in my legs is sore, even ones I forgot existed. Mostly my thighs though and yes my butt muscles too. My lower back is a little sore, but not really too bad at all. My shoulders and neck are a bit sore too. I guess you could say I feel like I had a good full body work out.

 

[andyzee]

I had some soreness, compared to previous years it wasn't that bad. Then today I went out for a 4 mile walk, and well, that made things a bit worst.

:lol:

I was laughing, anyway, until Brian turned around and said, "Wait til your first day!"

Mainly my quads, but my neck is also pretty stiff.

I thought a little physical excursion might help. It helped to awaken those sore quads. I wanted to try out an agility/speed work-out last night that I'm putting together for the HS lax team. 45 minutes of high knees, shuffling, etc etc some drills stepping through the ladder. I was gassed We'll see how the kids respond to it on Thursday. I'll leading and participating in the twice a week conditioning sessions we run up until the start of the season. Should help with skiing too....

Full workout this morning. I feel great.

Figuring out where I'll be skiing this weekend/Monday.
