But wait, there's more!

Skiing with friends from New Zealand.

Sibby doesn't do mountain tours anymore. As it is, from doing that for various forum members for 15 years, I have a calendar full of returners every year all season. Several I have to duck all week because there's no WAY I'll ski with them again! Fortunately, there's Ambassadors who give tours twice a day for free. End of February is usually ideal for tons of fresh snow. Bring your yellow or rose goggles.

And was that actual temperature or wind chill? ... Looks like that was ambient prior to opening. Pretty nippy.

How long did you last? Was that ambient or wind chill? They wouldn't even run the upper lifts here for a -29°F ambient because the wind chill would be like -50°F. So it's been maybe 10 years since I skied that low, but even back then 4 runs would have been my limit. With all the high tech chairs they've put in, cold weather has become an issue. The old fixed grips were hardier. I got 3.5 hours in yesterday before I went from fine to suddenly NOT fine after riding this one slow, shady, lift. If I'd stayed on the front I might have lasted longer because the wind was at your back. Still, got a good amount of runs in before heading to the locker room (where pain set in). I noticed the new 6-pack was down again as I headed back. Gotta be the 4th or 5th time this season?

You should use that on your Tinder profile.

No, I was fine with just some boot gloves. I will add over mitts tomorrow. My down mittens weren't up to the task.

Day 18. -12°F

But it mostly looked like this:

Yes, Nikwax is waterproofing. Yes, but no longer a contender.

Now running a Nikwax wash.

Digital camera, 2 shots, merged with an Android app called Bimostitch, then text added with Picsart.

Dec. 8. I'm not logging the miles I used to.
