shitty conditions, despite official report of "packed powder". Filed official complaint with resort over lies in snow report as a safety issue. The *best* surface available was frozen cord. Lots of people out on rental gear, too.
perfect conditions - packed powder, bluebird skies, perfect temps. Adjusted the forward lean of the new boots to max forward, then backed off of that because it was putting a lot of pressure on my knees.
first day out on the new Apex boots. Had to come in early again because I forgot to transfer the heel lifts over from the old Nordicas, but otherwise, this is a fantastic boot!
feet swelled up due to Snow Barn pizza the night before, and I was forced off the mountain by nerve pain in my foot. That's it. I'm jumping ship to an Apex boot.
frickin COLD. Knee is fine, but still wearing out early. Skied 1.25 hours, though, which is good. Started thinking fondly of my RTM 84s, also a good sign
First time returning to skis after a minor MCL sprain from slipping on black ice. 20 minutes on the bunny hill, and quitting early out of pure caution. No problems with skiing or the lift.
