I'm at the condo, a ten minute walk from the lift, but I don't think I'm going to ski today. My hope was that after really feeling fantastic on my skis yesterday, I would be able to go out and ski some more aggressive terrain today. Carefully, of course. I have zero plans to fall or need to make abrupt movements, although my knee is getting more and more tolerant that sort of thing. DH and I even discussed the best aspects for good snow, so that I probably wouldn't have to deal with set-up crud or heavy chop. But there is no vis today - I can't see the mountain from the condo. It's snowing gangbusters, which should be tempting, but yesterday's full day of skiing has revitalized my cold. And if I can't ski trees, skiing in poor vis on wide open runs with a lot of people who - based on conversations on the lift - generally find a few inches of snow pretty challenging - eh.
I could probably rally, but it's almost 9:30, and I'm in my PJs (I just pull a pair of fleece pants over my PJ bottoms for the dog walk). It would probably be after 10 before I got to the lift, and with a boot fit at 1:30 and wanting to scarf some food beforehand ...
I feel like I'm betraying the sacred code of the skier, but today may be a good day not to ski. I haven't managed to attend my knee-oriented personal training session in over a month, and if I ski today, I may egg on the cold and need to cancel *again* tomorrow.
Argh! Conflicting priorities! If only I could work today and play tomorrow.
