Cold and windy at today’s Ski Bum race. Fast course with some big, across-the-fall line turns. Disappointed in myself as I skied slower than my handicap. A couple of reasons (excuses?) I think contributed to it. One is I am just plain scared with my skiis. I discovered the reason they felt like they haven’t Read More…
One of the things we suspect/feel is the Dodge Ski Boot is just plain faster when gliding (like in a wax race or on the flats for downhill.)

Dave & I were supposed to ski in a benefit race for the Mount Mansfield Winter Academy today, but he decided he was having so much fun over in Greensboro that he never made it back. I went up to the mountain anyway. After all, I hadn’t really skied for over a week, no hockey Read More…
