The first baby steps in 2 years. Cross country on lightweight backcountry gear. Lifts and downhill coming soon.
Surgeries, rehabs and age had me concerned that skiing might be over. I didn’t know they’d open today. I was there only for the used equipment sale.

Flexibility issues mean that I can not get into a tall stiff boot and have great difficulty operating a telemark cable heel lever. I don’t, i.e. can’t, do that anymore. I need step-in bindings and low 3 buckle boots now. So a lot of great, even beloved gear is going for sale. I sincerely hope that the next owners are local kids or ski bums who will love it as much as I did.

That's great, Denis. I hope you have a good season.
Go get 'em Denis! Early snows out West are causing some record openings. We're supposed to get a good cold snap this week in the mid-Atlantic. Hope some of the resorts will jump on that and start making snow?!?
Denis - Niccce! I was planning to go to Heavenly or Northstar today but emmmm that $120 life ticket price kinda put the damper on that. I'm happily working on ski tuning today.
Woohoo, great to hear that Denis.
Hope you have a long, deep season
