Lake louise first long ski day, drove out with Ray and CSC, but not a good idea, takes too long to get out,
skiing was okay, lots of fresh snow, used rock skiis didn't need to, crown skiis were good until they started to stick, then they were useles... So perhaps carry some fresh glide to put on them while out if wet,
skate was okay but balance is horrible, and hands are not coming up high enough, also perhaps poles are too long... need to fix.
MOST of all pushed too hard, since it is a 9km climb out and 9km back.. that was not fun when you only have one gear in skating, full out.. Need to work on technique and do it more...
NEED TO LOSE WEIGHT, eat small meals, do lifts and little cardio...
