Another Father/Son Ski Day

Alex and I went up the hill to sample a little fresh snow, making this the second Father/Son ski trip of the 2009/10 season. Alex got day 3 and I recorded day 9.

After just a 4 day break from skiing, my legs were already too soft to keep up with Alex and since I refuse to resort to those mundane parallel turns, the tele turns quickly transformed my quads to burning, throbbing lumps. It's those long runs from the top of Grandview down to the West Bowl quad that do it to me. Carving huge tele turns down Beaver chasing Alex on run number 5 is what did it to me.

Anyway, we split up so he could tear it up while I work on my tele turns at a nice moderate pace. (read: stop every 3 runs for a beer) So after a full day we drove back down the hill thinking about our next ski day.
