It is official! I have been on my board, on REAL SNOW....and I'm as stupidly stoked about it now as I have been for the last year+! (no, it's not a full-fledged trip downhill, but it's a start)
Drove up to Cat on Saturday -- there was NO WAY I wasn't going to hit the snow on Pass Picture Day!
About 2/3 up Fie Top Road:
$20 for group lesson, got 2 hours private since nobody else was on the learning curve:
The coverage looked good, but so much sun during the day I didn't have high hopes going back on Sunday...
Tom did a fantastic job with the lessons....I successfully completed a toe-side j-turn, managed to stay off my arse, and only slipped about 2 or 3 times
(Scuba if I'd known who you were, I would've made a point to say hello! -- saw the patrol group doing whatever behind the lift over there)
A little bit of lift line going on...and you can see the coverage thinning out
I was more concentrated on learning than photo op'ing....left the GoPro in the Bimmer. LOL
This probably belongs in the Beer Count thread, but oh well it's my TR:
A little post-riding scenery going back down Fie Top:
Yep - the Fun.Kink is officially stickered!
...and while I'm here, sharing my awesome new stomp pad from Skis & Tees...hahah love this little Lib guy!
...and I broke down & bought new boots....BOA versus laces is amazing (when I don't have strong grip to lace properly, thanks nerve damage)...these are so so so comfy
More to come next weekend!!!
The end! :>)
