Ski Diva Extraordinaire
There is still time to ski but now that we are almost in April and a good chunk of the season is behind us what are some of your accomplishments and/or highlights? Here are mine:
1. I have been skiing 5 years and finally switched out my first ever pair of skis for a new one which are better suited for my current ability level. Having better equipment has made me more confident on the slopes.
2. There is a double diamond run at Tremblant called Expo which is steep and can be very icy. For the longest time I haven't been able to get down it without side slipping or stopping midway down to calm down because I was so nervous. That finally changed this past weekend where I skied the whole run from top to bottom without any side slipping or stopping. Having struggled with this all season long I was ecstatic about having finally skied the run with confidence.
3. While I haven't mastered glades or moguls yet I definitely jump at any chance to ski them now and I have improved in these two areas over the season.
4. In the same vein as 2 and 3 I notice that I now try more terrain that in past years I would have never done because I lacked the ability or the confidence to do it.
5. This was my first year as a season pass holder which was cool because I got to ski a lot without hurting my bank account. I am definitely getting a pass again next year.
What do other Divas have to say?
