    Thank you all so much for the good thoughts... Yes, @newboots , I, too, live for gardening and skiing at this stage of my life. I have my own gardening business and of course wondering how that will go this year. I have my doubts that I can put in 6 hour days, 6 days a week. I do have a...

    Our SkiSailor

    My heart dropped reading this news...I never met her, but she gave me so many ah-ha moments when sharing her knowledge on this forum...I remember thinking how incredibly brave she was to ski the Couloir...I had no idea about the depth of her courage with her biggest battle. I will greatly miss...

    Frustrated: upper/lower body separation

    @BMR ...I was having some of the same struggles...whenever I would try to stay facing downhill, I would feel my weight shift to my heels (not good). I follow Deb Armstrong on YT...she is a former Olympian and now instructor in Steamboat...in one of her videos, she suggested keeping your belly...

    For those who started skiing later in life.....

    Thank you, @newboots Maybe this is the big takeaway...the challenge of it all for us late bloomers...maybe it gives us an unrivaled confidence...a different perspective of what we know to be our aging bodies...that perhaps we are indeed strong and spirited! Just to clarify...skiing did not...

    For those who started skiing later in life.....

    1) What made you start skiing? At what age? I started skiing at age 52. I had previously skied a handful of times, but never made it out of a wedge and it had been many years since my last trip. I started REALLY skiing during my darkest hour...my 16 year old son had just passed away, due to a...

    Colorado trip on Ikon

    I've skied all three resorts a lot...if you are looking for hero snow (fluffy, champagne that forgives all errors) and a great town, then Steamboat is the ticket...I love the west side, Sunshine Peak...it's just fun and not as icy and crowded...Copper is my home mountain as we have a condo in...

    Dealing with osteopenia, ways to increase bone density

    A quick update... Skied Copper last week, and I fell again...same way...hit the back of my head and back. Thankfully, not as hard and I was wearing a light back brace for protection, but hit hard enough to feel a bit discouraged...I felt like my new skis were perhaps too much for me... This...

    Lost my skiing mojo?

    Same here...Tylenol has no effect on me...I am fortunate with the Imitrex as I know it doesn't work for everyone...those migraines are so exhausting...take good care of yourself!!
