Yeah, when company comes to town it’s easy to get lazy. I wanted to keep a (ski) daily blog, and have already fallen short. Nonetheless, a recap: yesterday in Le Tour the snow began to fall and into a light fog we skied by 11 a.m. Lucky we got up there early, and the runs were nice since the recent snows. At Le Tour you have to pick a line to get some serious skiing in. Otherwise the place gets a bit boring for advanced skiers.

I found some of those lines and used the terrain to advantage by seeing slalom poles in the fog of imagination. That kind of edging in a fast jam down the hill works the legs and lungs. At 43, I feel like I can rip a tree from the ground. And it only took 2 months of  skiing to get me into shape. Life can surprise you every once in a while.

By noon the runs had become veiled in a cloud, and you could best get down by following the pole lines. The center of runs made your run a white-out. I felt like I was water skiing because the bumps moved underneath like waves, making me bounce around and “feel” my way along the surface. If you didn’t use your knees as shock absorbers, you could get yourself out of balance quickly.

Day off today to get work done, and waiting for a big snow dump sometime tomorrow. Yee-haa!
