DrunkSpeaking of trees...
F &$k tree runs.
free fall glade at copper mtn is a pos.
how are you even supposed to do that?
Gotta get faster at transferring weight edge to edge and initiating turns.Speaking of trees...

But doesn’t this mean that you’re gonna have to be hauling a little ass?Typically people are tentative, and push their skis away from them down the hill, this makes it hard to turn quickly, your feet should be right underneath your hips, knees bent with your shins pressed hard into the tongues of your boots. This allows you to transfer energy to the ski and turn more rapidly
Dude tell me about it.
After getting my tent set up today I had
just enough time to run up to solitude and take a few laps and man, for a Midwestern blue run dork like me that place would be a vibe if there was just a little bit more snow
To a man who doesn’t know what he’s doing or talking about the terrain off eagle ridge looked badass if it was covered up a little more.
solitude doesn’t make snow though, right?
so the other resorts might have better groomers?
I’ve got a week left in my road trip.
you guys know if it’s snowing anywhere else?
I could pick up and move

It feels counter intuitive, but it’s like rock climbing, if you press yourself against the mountain you have way less grip, skiing if you lean forward you have more control and can go slower.But doesn’t this mean that you’re gonna have to be hauling a little ass?
When I’m going down a run like that I feel like I understand what I need to do, somewhat, but I feel like shifting into the forward position and actually doing it is gonna take me to a level of downward velocity that I’m not comfortable with.
but I’m trying to get there lol
That's what I looked like on Sunday.
Sweet content brohem, can't wait for some bitchen cliff drop footy
I feel you I have been using my dad's old tele boots, totally fine for downhill travel... epically painful after 45 min of uphill.That's what I looked like on Sunday.
We did our first ski tour...skinned up to the top of our local hill before the lift was going. That beat me up. I've never skiied such light powder skis and I did not do well trying to control them. Learned that no matter how much you think your boots fit once you start climbing you will find where your boots are tight or rub. I didn't have hot spots but my boots are definitely too narrow so they get a ride to the shop to be fitted again.
These are a touch longer than I should have purchased but thought that being fat and generally strong enough to overpower they would be ok. We don't have enough powder (barely enough snow on the groomers) to give them the full test but rumor of the vortex collapse has me hoping for some in a week or 2.I feel you I have been using my dad's old tele boots, totally fine for downhill travel... epically painful after 45 min of uphill.
Light skis definitely require a style change, though I do enjoy them a lot.
This. Leaning back puts you out of control.skiing if you lean forward you have more control and can go slower.
