My New Ski adventure - contd.

[BLUEKNIGHT911]

So last year I posted that I had re-turned to downhill Skiing after a hiatus of 25 years ( did snowmobiling instead ) …. I had such a fantastic experience ( 66 days of skiing ) I decided to do it again this season … Soooooooooo got my ( elderly ) discounted ( $139.00 ) season pass. I went twice before Thanksgiving, and four times after ( so far ). Compared to last years First day, this year was like I had been skiing for past 7 mos. instead of riding my Spyder …. I was quite surprised how my muscles responded after such a long lay-off ( except for day one, there has been no pain )….. So after skiing these past 6 days I feel my ability is almost where it was at the end of April 2019.... Annnnnnnnd 6 days - No Falls ( this season ) :yes::yes::yes::yes:...…Plus my over-all physical state is really fantastic, compared to last season Mike hyea:

I got my new Ski's and Boots at " L9-sports.com " … 40+years, then you weren't using the new style super sidecut ( ie shaped carving ski's ) either.... The difference is like night and day, they practically turn by themselves, press down on ( the turning ski ,) knee's into the hill & these things just turn …. very easy for the knee's …. And my new boots are from Alpina ( R 4 ) they are rear entry, fit like a glove and are very warm..... last season they were the last maker of rear entry boots …. However ATOMIC ( what Michella Sheffrin uses ) now has three separate " Rear Entry " models..... I'm 72 and without this new style equipment I wouldn't be sking today …. good luck ….. PS L 9's pricing is really good compared to others …… Mike hyea:
