Downhill Skiing

[smilingcat]

love to ski. Used to have season passes at Snowbird when I used to live in SLC. Strictly downhill though.

Snowbird was a nice place when it first opened back in '72 or '71?? Back then you could slap you skiis on inside the aerial tram then zoom out at the top. Before Snowbird, I used to ski at Alta, Brighton and Park City. Brighton just because it was cheap $5.00 for a day pass . At Park City, my two friends and I almost got kicked out by our coach for "yapping" and not listening to his instruction. Well, what do you expect couple of 10-12 year olds.

Now days I just enjoy relaxing run on a bunny run with my partner. Showing her how to ski with instruction that makes sense unlike her ex.

safty bars.. is that what that is? just don't lean so far forward

And seat warmers on the lift? What will they think of next? heated socks and defogger for your goggles? and maybe even a heated glove?

must plan on ski trip. Atleast, my sister and my mother still lives in SLC. I ... think... I'll stay at a local B&B instead

MEOW!!

I learned to ski at Sunday River in Maine!
I spent lots of time skiing at Cannon in NH, also Loon and Waterville Valley.
My sister has connections with a house near Stratton in VT, so that's where our New England skiing is done now.
Skiing in Maryland is pretty spotty at best....Wisp in western MD, and Liberty and Whitetail in PA. Canaan Valley in WV was a hoot the one time we went there - blizzard and lots of powder!
I have a friend who has a place in Colorado....so lately we've been doing an annual trip out there to ski Copper, Breckenridge, Keystone, and others in the Summit region.
Yeah...I ski where I have friends with lodging!
I'm a confirmed blue square skier....I'll drop into the blacks if conditions are good. Most blacks around here are pretty tame. I'm not a big fan of bowls, but will do them if they're okay. I've never skied "real" powder (that bit in WV notwithstanding).
Oh...and I LOVE safety bars! I'm such a wimp - but also, it's what I know. I've ridden up without them (esp. if sharing a chair with 'boarders), but it totally freaks me out.
