There's a time in a skier's life, when speed, agility and self confidence begin to fade. When a few too many accidents place a damper on excitement, explosive energy and fearlessness that inhabited the individual.
For me, that threshold is one I have begun feeling this season after kind of plateauing last year. I tire much faster, I don't nearly take as much risk as I used to and simply take my time when I have to.
A sad sign? That could be, even though I still can out-ski many healthy men a good ten-year younger than me.
A good sign then? Probably; let's call it self-protection and some kind of insurance that I'll still be there with all my limbs and mind for the longer haul!
