Two loops at Sovereign lake. Conditions were very good and the weather was ideal. Couldn’t keep up with the gang, very chicken on the downhills.
Still, the longest ski in several years. Totally out of energy at the end of the second loop but felt good.

Beautiful first ski at Silverstar. Used the waxable skis while Jim borrowed my skins. Trails warmed up so that I was on purple VR50 to get up the hills.
The one hour is just a guess. We stopped often to say hi to friends along the way as well as to take a dozen photos.
Totally out of energy by the end. My ankle was sore and so was by back. After a good stretch and workout with the tiger ball I felt better.

Feeling a little ragged in the morning but the weather was so nice I had to head up to the Gats for a quick ski. It was beautiful. The new skin skis worked really well in the soft tracks. Couldn’t ask for better conditions. Everybody was smiling and saying hello. Too bad my old body wasn’t in better shape. Had to slow down to a shuffle a few times to catch my breath.
Hip and calf were fine but the ankle bugged me early in the session and then the foot starts to ache a bit. Seems like the new normal.

Feeling like I was fighting a cold so I took it easy with just a good stretch.
