Sunny becoming cloudy, temps rising from the low 10s to near 30. Parallel SL on Chute. Started early, since I was the ref, with course set around 715.

Then, 6 runs of dual panel SL (3 runs on each course). Cumulative time, so the head-to-head didn't really matter, but still fun. I skied okay. Started to really feel my legs getting leaden but kept snacking and hydrating and was okay.

First set I skied really well, in 3rd behind Dykster and Fuxi, and >0.5 sec gap to 4th. From there, kind of protected the podium a bit and made sure to stay in it. Definitely not as aggressive as I could have been, but it was good enough to hold onto the podium.

After, took about 5 runs off the new 6-pack lift, ripping around on the Evolv90s. Pretty fun. Still not sure how I feel about those skis.
