Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted March 1, 2018 Report Share Posted March 1, 2018 Got it in yesterday just in case little is left after the deluge. If we survive in decent form I will be there one day this weekend, unless Frost gets snow and Blue rain, in which case it will be Frost.

antman12 Posted March 1, 2018 Report Share Posted March 1, 2018 No way! Id rather teach him to ride so he can keep up sometime in the near future. He also took lessons last season and IMO he didn't get much value from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted March 1, 2018 Report Share Posted March 1, 2018 I enjoy skiing slower with my kids (actually with the slower of them, as I tend to follow whoever lags so as to provide any needed help without having to hike uphill) every bit as much as I enjoy skiing faster by myself. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that so you can work on your technique? I despise making slow deliberate. I find skiing fast to be a lot easier. The one low visibility day in Jackson hole was way more tiring because I couldn't let my skis run and was throwing them sideways a lot more.

GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted March 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2018 My niece and nephew live in Washington DC area and I only see them about twice a year so I don't anticipate ever teaching them how to ski. I'm honestly too selfish for that...it's up to their parents to put them in lessons if they're interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's because I enjoy being a parent and watching and helping them improve. I actually get way more exercise skiing with them as it takes a lot more work to go slow than to rip down a run. I will go a bit ahead of them in trees or bumps to try to show them a route to follow If I want to go fast, I will often let them get a fair bit ahead of me and then catch up.

That's what I do with salty and Mrs. Snowbunski...let them go ahead and catch up and fly by them. That's good that you like being a parent. Even though I never will have kids, I appreciate the fact that some like having kids. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was actually only one time. Another night on Razors I hit 53 my record and they were still leagues ahead of me. Lately I've convinced myself that if I keep up those fast speeds I'm gonna wreck myself, so I've slowed down to 30 ish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted March 1, 2018 Report Share Posted March 1, 2018 Going fast is a bit more dangerous in the spring skiing conditions we are having of late as it is easier for your skis to get caught. I took a nasty fall last weekend at the bottom of Falls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took a nasty fall last weekend at the bottom of Falls. That's how I fell on hot cocoa day. My ski caught an edge in tracked out spring snow. Always paranoid that's going to happen but I haven't done that in a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
