Good luck, @newboots! Hope it works out!
Since your in New England, and working to get better, you might have fun at one of the Okemo women's workshops. Some learning, some skiing, a few meals and the stray beverage with a basically non-judgemental group. I got a lot out of the last one I attended! https://www.okemo.com/mountain-info/ski-ride-school/womens-programs/
Right now my level of fitness would leave me too tired to ski several days in a row, but I'm working on it!
I'm not saying it will fix everything - but the better you get at skiing, the more efficient you will be - meaning you won't need the same level of fitness to ski the same stuff.
I don't mind skiing alone but it's always more fun to share the experience, fun and beauty of the sport.
It's been a couple years since this thread was active.
For those who skied alone a fair amount as an improving intermediate, did your view of skiing alone change after starting to ski more off-piste or in less than ideal snow conditions?
So do you prefer to ski solo or to find folks to ski with who are interested in the same pace and terrain?I no longer feel the need "to be challenged" as much as to just enjoy being out there...
Ideally that's what I like to do but isn't always possible. BF and my friend I travel with (Europe trips ) ski at the same pace and terrain which is great. But I love skiing with others (BF's grandkids - well they'll be leaving me in the dust in a year or so) and enjoy showing folks around the mountain (who maybe wouldn't venture in areas as unknown to them).find folks to ski with who are interested in the same pace and terrain?
