Re-evaluation day
My first day was a re-evaluation day. Different skis, new sox, new longjohns, new pants, new jacket, new helmet, new goggles, new neckgaiter, new mittens, NEW WRISTS... Hard to feel normal. Nevertheless survived, didn't fall, feel I was skiing smoothly even if I was talking to myself the whole time (instructions to self about my technique, speed, balance, etc.)
Pics follow. These are all of the backside of Big Mountain (it'll be a while before I agree to call it by its new name). Conditions are nice, that's as far as I'll go. I can feel some underlying crunchiness that needs to be covered better.
