Loveland Day 5


Blustery day. The basin was filled with swirling blown snow most of the day, and visibility got pretty dim toward 3PM.

I'm not satisfied with my skiing this season. I expected to start slow after my tibial plateau fracture last March 8th, but I do find myself tight and having some trouble keeping my weight over my skis. I AM conscious of it, and try to correct, but overall I have to think about my balance, and from my meager athletic experience in tennis and other sports over the years, it's hard to perform well when you're focused too much on technique.

Also, my ski boots just aren't cuttin' it. Right foot swims too much, and it makes me uncertain in hard left turns.

But skiing is life, and life gets better.
