Forgot my poles and had already made up my mind to do a no pole session when Andy offered me his Yoko racing poles. One was a pink Kikkan Randall one, which he had just bought to replace a broken blank. I managed to break it during the 4th interval, what a bummer. Should be under warranty, though, Andy was very kind. So I had 3.5 intervals with poles and 2.5 without. The trails with real fresh snow were quite soft but quite skiable. Had put a layer of Rex blue on my skis before the practice, which worked very well. During my last downhill, another skier passed me and I ended up catching up to him. He wanted to let me go ahead of him for the next uphill but i demurred, pointing to the broken pole.
