First day on skis…

This past Wednesday was my first day on skis this winter. In the past I have calculated my number of lifetime ski seasons and “exaggerated” the count by one. 

This year is in fact be my 70th ski season and is an important milestone in my skiing life!

This said, there were very few skiers, the temperature was cold (around 30 degrees), but there was no wind, the snow was okay and I still remembered how to turn as dementia had not caught up with me yet! 

Only two lifts were running and during the two hours I skied, I managed to rack up more than 15,500 vertical feet, had a very good time, didn’t break anything and felt back in the groove again. 

Let’s hope that will set the tone for the rest of the season!
