Years ago in Loveland Basin, Co I skied in an almost white out up in a bowl and was about the only person riding this T-Bar lift. The snow was 12-18" of the lightest powder snow that one could ever image. The lift operator was asking what size my boots were? He was offering to let we run the lift for a while so he could made a few runs!

Mike, congratulations on your recovery! Keep enjoying the slopes one day at a time. This year I have more paid vacation time then I know what to do with, and if I get caught out of state I'll get locked in a rubber room for two weeks. I do trips to Utah yearly. Do day trips to windham mountain when conditions are good. My only option is mountain creek, and it just is not worth the drive.

Had a great ski day also. Glad to hear that you've recovered enough to enjoy the sport that we enjoy ( when we can't ryde ). It was cold and windless at Mt Rose/Ski Tahoe. High base makes for great snow condidtions. Rose's parking lot is higher than the famed KT-22 at Squaw Valley. Crappy lift lines on the major chairs though. Everyone wanted to ride the new snow we got last night.
Ski on

Recovery is going slow , but I'm making progress every day I ski ..... after the summer / fall layoff my ski legs arn't there yet ... I do " so-called ' Ski excercises, I guess they help some, but to me there is no substitute for actual Skiing ...... Mike

Everyone should have a passion. Mike has at least two passions and is enjoying them to the fullest. Wonderful!

I am happy to know that you can do what you want now, but still be careful.

I used to ski a lot back in my 20's and 30's. Then having a family, skiing became less of a priority and unaffordable for a while. We would sporadically go and taught the kids when they were young. I've been into snowmobiling (and now Spydering) for 15 years so skiing kind of disappeared from my life. I just threw out all my old ski stuff last year as I figured 30 year old equipment wouldn't be good or safe to use. I've been out skiing only a few times in the last couple of years - just getting rentals from the ski area. Now my daughter is in her early 20's, we got her new ski equipment for Xmas is into it with her friends. But now she wants me to ski with her and I'm looking at getting all new stuff soon.
