picked up my almost 7 year old for her first ski day of the year and spent another couple hours skiing with her. Perfect way to end a truly great day:

My daughter,7, and son,10 will be joining me this year.. both want to board.. whatever makes em smile I guess...

Start em young !

looks real nice. I've said it many o time before, but you guys are real lucky down there in CT.

I wonder how many Ragged skiers are like me and would appreciate a similar commitment.

Crap. I'm actually a bit sore today. Hit that line probably close to 30 times yesterday...

From that short clip at the end of 2knee's vid, I see a major glaring problem I desperately need to work on. Overall though, I was happy with my skiing. A few things clicked yesterday.

30 times !?!

I think you can get in about 6-8 runs an hour and I went from 8 am to after noon with no breaks so high 20's at least. I feel it today.

yeah sorry i lost a bit on that. When you started i realized i had it in picture mode so i had to switch over. then the camera didnt really want to work in the cold. anyway, we got proof of stinger bumps for posterity sake.

I am glad I had a chiropractor apt. this morning. Feels good to get the spine adjusted and a little lower back massage. I said back you tools, not front. :)

Also, I should mention I saw several younger mogul skiers ripping the snot out of Stinger yesterday. One was a ski instructor, and I saw another young ski instructor with 1080 mogul skis. Good to see some crossover into the bumps from the younger skiers.
