Telltale signs to call it a day

[Starter Jackets Rule!]

true but in general, whether it be day one or day 100, i would think skiers have some trigger that makes them say no mas. i was just wondering what that was for others in here.

Or it could be as simple as.....I'm tired. lol.

me?

I'll ski pretty hard most of the time. When I feel like I don't have the "reserve" power to overcome a mistake or adjust line...that's when I either start "cruising", take a break...or call it.

Dreaded words..."One Last Run". Absolute Jynx!

Last year after running all morning @ Stratton, we stopped for lunch, caught our breath, went back for a few more runs, and started "feeling it". With a three hour drive back, it was time for coffee and hit the bricks.

Same with Cannon/Wildcat.

Who had the Dr Suese quote under their avatar? Don't be sad it's over, be glad it happened. A good mantra. Come back for another day...arrive alive...take your pick.

I used to have that in my sig. And I'm trying hard to live by that in all aspects of my life.

.... i know my day is drawing to a conclusion when i have trouble getting the strength to extend back down into the trough.

when my legs are so spent that I can't extend after absorbing a bump/roller/end of the turn...then I know its quitso time.

and the feeling of helplessness that occurs almost instantly.

the thing i love about powder is i can be pretty sloppy with edge control. i know im tired when i get back on the trail to get to the lift and i am having a hard time carving and keeping my board on edge.

and you find yourself thinking "oh sh!t better not do that again"
