Hey Jim,
Please don't worry about ski speeds....there are many runs I just make nice slow cruising turns, short, medium, long...just to dance on the mountain.
SOme runs, I let the skis boogie....for the most part, making sweet turns at varied speeds is what I enjoy. The other thing is I look to play with the different terrain shapes...looking for off camber terrain, small jumps, broken or deeper snow along the edges. I'm sure you'll be rocketing past me on runs you just want to open your boards up on. Ron likes the same kind of stuff as well.
At our last outing...it was very cool. Everyone looked out for each other, waited patiently, was supportive and it was just an awsome time. I really look forward to repeating the event.
Michael, I'm trying to tie "socialbe" to the purchase of the 165 WCSC's...short turns makes you slower?
You'll be working up a sweat, getting a great leg workout and you'll still be waiting for us at the bottom. Looking forward to see all your new ski gear as well. Hey, I though you were using your Contacts as your soft snow skis? Some of you has certainly rub off on Ron cause he's out looking for some super fats....
I know it's too early,,....but I'm REALLY hoping Lynn will join us this year...I think it would be great for her to be with her Real SKier Brothers!
Any weather prognostications for this winter?
Best,
Gary
