Yes yes yes! There was a little bit of snow on Pike's Peak and I was ready to get my ski racks on.
My friend was like "How do you not have scurvy?"
Ha ha ha ha, I use Gummi Bears as incentive when studying. Despite a fairly decent diet overall,I recently noticed that at the end of a busy week the only thing in my 'fridge besides condiments was Gummi Bears and beer. My friend was like "How do you not have scurvy?"
Have you ever tried skis in the Head Joy line? I went with the Absolut Joy for Mid-A skiing, which is 78 underfoot. The Volkl Yumi is another ski that shows up at Mid-A demo days. I had fun with the Yumi last Jan at Massanutten, and I usually don't like Volkl.But if anyone has suggestions for an ice coast ski for a progressing intermediate mostly skiing at night in the Mid-Atlantic, I’m all ears! That’s totally the extremely specific need I’m trying to buy for.
Ooh, I want the Warren Miller films on the flash drive. Great tip!
My first reaction was, "Hey, that would be a great thing to do before snow is here...:I'm getting excited to demo some new skis.

If conditions are relatively good, the skied-over trails still firm up at night and become a teeth-chattering challenge. Then, I want sharp but burly and stable skis.
How do I evaluate the "burliness" of a ski - or at least what characteristics in the ski should I look at to narrow the number of skis that I should try to demo? Do I look at its flex? Materials?.
