Title: Ski in order to truly enjoy life
Post by: MooseTheDog on January 06, 2013, 11:07:13 PM
For all of the  :kstategrad: happening around the world, I'm truly shocked that there is no thread about skiing.  I am currently fortunate enough to be on a ski trip with scottwildcat, Spaces, 3maw and SliceOfLime in Breckenridge, and it is an amazing time.  Any comments, raves, suggestions, notions, criticisms, jokes, commentaries, narratives, or preferences about skiing should be shared on this thread!

Breckenridge

Broke my kneecap into 3 peices there in 8th grade and now can do that thing where you can feel a storm coming in your joint.

I must say it is impressive that you enjoyed your FIRST ski trip, as it usually takes several forced trips for most to appreciate the beauty of skiing. Where did you ski? Tell us all about the experience, for that is what this thread is about. Also mods I thought skiing is a sport but if you think auntie maes board is more appropriate, feel free to move.

Winter Park. Took a lesson the first day. Instructor was really fun. Learned some basics. Most important being ditching yourself before you crash into something or someone.

On day 2 I fell over probably 20 times. Getting back up is exhausting.

On day 4 finally got a feel for my edges figured out parallel turns/stops but my body started breaking down. Day 5 started to trust myself with some speed. Day 6 was really feeling it And took down some easy blues after juicing hardcore with Advil to blast through some of the knee pain.

Condo had a hot tub which helped with nightly recovery. Hot tubs are basically my favorite thing.

Got altitude sickness maybe on the 2nd night and yakked my brains out.

Got drunk off 1/2 the normal amount of drinks.

Had several elite high speed wipeouts

LOVE that you skied 6 DAYS on your first ski trip. Completely agree that hot tubs are the best thing in the world and plan to get one as soon as I am  :kstategrad:. Thanks for sharing.

Skiid Winter Park for 6 days. It was pretty tough to learn but by the end I was feeling it.

First day took an all day lesson. It was a blast, the instructor was great. Learned the basics, most importantly ditching before you crash into someone or something and how to get up. Also maybe got altitude sickness and yakked my brains out at 3 AM

Day 2 fell over about 20 times. Getting up is exhausting. Luckily the condo had an awesome hot tub for nightly recovery.

Day 4 I was finally getting a feel for my edges and figured out parallel turns / stops. Huge moment for me. Also got comfortable enough to appreciate the natural splendor around me.  My body definitely started breaking down though. Lots of knee twisting forces taking a toll.

Day 5 got more comfortable at speed and really started feeling like I could ski.

Day Six really felt like a skiier and conquered a few easy blues with the help of a massive juicing of Advil.

Ski people all seemed to be very happy.

Got drunk off like 1/2 the normal drink.

Fell getting off the first lift of the day every day except for the last day, which felt like a major accomplishment.

High on the mountain is incredible. Like a totally different planet from Kansas.

Winter Park was very cool. The networks of lifts and ski trails and sublifts made me feel like a real explorer.

Excited to ski again and build on what I learned with a fully recovered body. Future ski brony right here.

I thought Breckenridge was pretty boring overall.  I had a lot of fun on Peak 9 (I think) and on the total opposite side of the place in the trees.  Other than that, it's sort of all the same super wide, gently sloping long run.  Not enough fun for an entire day, IMO.

Winter Park is great because Mary Jane is great.

But all the places are equally good for beginners.

my favorite part is when you get to the lift/any area you interact with "workers" and theyre from another country.

like if you ask the operator at the base how icy it is and they throw some Australian accent at you, you're all like "what?"

Does anyone wear a backpack when they ski?

All my bro's do it so I gave in to peer pressure last time and it was actually pretty sweet.

Last time I filled it with

1. 6 Pack of Coors Light
2. Spare gloves/Scarf
3. Granola Bars
4. Sammy for lunch

It also works great if you get hot and need to remove a layer.

Dear gE.c,

Pretty jacked up for my mid-Feb trip all the way to Crested Butte to meet up with my emaw bro who is an actual ski bum and lives there.

I have skiied plenty of times and enjoy it but I usually avoid blacks because I like the casual/relaxing version of skiing. But my friend who I am visiting told me Crested Butte's blues are like most places blacks.  :ohno:

Anybody skiied Crested Butte that can confirm/deny?

crested butte is a great little ski town. does he actually live in town? pretty expensive place to live. from what i remember the mountain itself isn't really a beginners type of place. not a lot of greens. don't remember the blues being ridiculous though. you should be fine.

Deny.  They may be harder than the average blue, but nothing to worry about.  Besides, a little challenge is good.  Monarch, down the road a bit, can get some great chowder snow and has some runs atop the Continental Divide with spectacular views.

Man, I love skiing.  Wanted to go this year, but not sure it is going to happen.  I've only gone twice, once in Breckenridge and once in Angel Fire, NM.  Mountain was definitely better in Breck, but it was so great in Angel Fire not having to wait in long lift lines or deal with traffic on the slopes.

I skied Crested butte last year. I was with my sister who hadn't skied in ten years. It actually worked out great because a lot of the runs are groomed on one side but they leave moguls on the other. Great for multi skilled groups. And there's never any lines!

probably the most exclusive part of colorado for the longest possible time.

If I lived in CO, I wouldn't go to resorts.  Just backcountry skiing.  You too?

Backcountry is definitely where its at, but there are days when you feel like getting in more than 3 runs.

their slopes are always groomed well. lady 3maw is currently there enjoying the crap out of herself. expensive if you are not a local/BC native, but if you are in the area, within the ski season, and a decent skier/boarder, you'll have a blast.


even cypress mountain, about an hour south of whistler/north of vancouver, is amazing.

The first night we got there, they got great snow but their website was down so the Vancouver crowd didn't come up.  So we got a very legit chowder day, with basically zero crowd. 

Then the last day, we went to chowder mountain.  We were hoping for +/- 20 cm over night.... They got 40+.   :frown:
