Groomed and off-piste

Yesterday was another day on snow. First day for my wife, second for me. The conditions were minimal but it got us out in the open air, so if we weren't elated, we had at least no regrets. We skied on the only two groomed runs that were available at Canyons.

On the way back home, my spouse who now loves to ski off-piste said to me: “Skiing is like biking; there are the groomed runs and road-biking and then there is off-piste and mountain biking; I like the later much better!”

This may offend a lot of my road-biking friends, but I find the comparison so true and so much on target that it may become part of the way I differentiate between these two forms of cycling. Of course, any comment on the topic is more than welcome!
