1/13/11

I tele'd with my friend Terry today.  See pictures attached.  I couldn't decide which sport to do when I first got to the mountain because there was still so much powder.  I decided I better tele because Terry doesn't alpine anymore.  I would have to switch my alpine bindings off and put my tele bindings on though.  I changed them out  in the parking lot.  Took about 5 minutes.  It was very easy.  Just a screw driver and some initial figuring out.  Usually when things are so easy there is a problem waiting around the corner but this time nothing happened.  I even tele'd down Lower Ovation.  I'm beat.  Terry is a good teleskier.  She would be even better if she didn't leave her skins on her skis while indoors hence leaving a sticky residue on the bottem of her skis when she did take the skins off of them.  They are supposed to be taken off while cold.  Lesson to be learned from people who get distracted before taking care of their gear!  Always be a gear head.

31/2 snow balls. Would have been a perfect 4 if I would have been skiing with a gear head.

Until tomorrow,

Sarah
