Ski Cooper, Colorado

Saturday, February 26, 2022

Sunny, temps rising from about -5 to around 10F. Felt a ton warmer than yesterday, even though it wasn't actually. GS on Black Powder. Ran out of the top house, which was a bit of a surprise. Snow was super soft again, as expected.

Course sets were pretty fun - spend about half of it in a tuck, and pretty quick back and forth otherwise. I skied pretty well I thought - first run I had a couple of redirections, but second run, to me, was pretty perfect. Ended up 5th, and I'm not sure I could have done much better.

I ran in some pretty big ruts and otherwise soft conditions, and my skis weren't sliding great, but ... I don't think that was the difference. I think I just needed to straighten it out. Oh well. Really a fun day. Cooper makes me happy.
