We apparently can't let Russ go out into any extreme weather, hot or cold.Twice. Though, the second time, I fell near the bottom - stupid fall, went to stop and skidded on a patch of ice. I don't have any pictures of me in the canyon because the guy holding the camera for that pic (my roommate) wouldn't go into it.chroot said:
So we just have to take your word for it that you went down that one and weren't just posing at the top to impress all the ladies, huh?russ_watters said:
Well, I took pictures of the slope while I was on it and riding up afterwards (you can't get to that particular lift by any other means)...Moonbear said:So we just have to take your word for it that you went down that one and weren't just posing at the top to impress all the ladies, huh?
Ugh, I skiied four days and not once was I dressed properly. The first day was the worst - I just didn't believe that it was going to be near 60 and I was wearing thermals and ski pants. I had to get a locker to ditch most of my clothing and was still uncomfortable (sweating in nylon ski pants is pretty sick). That last day was actually the closest to being properly dressed that I was - and I had to take off my sweater in the morning, then put it back on in the afternoon (I think the temperature was dropping). Part of the problem is the mogul runs make you work and get your heart pumping (it doesn't help to suck on the moguls...). But yeah - could have used that face shield that was in my hotel room...
Oh, no, no, no, unless you're cross country skiing. Just shushing through the snow.russ_watters said:
Hey, that looks a bit like the walk from my parking lot to my office every day. :uhh: Okay, not really, but I guess I don't have to ask if you're really good at skiing or just like to goof around on the easy slopes now (unless you have broken bones you're not telling us about).russ_watters said:
Skiing in 11 degrees can offer a unique and thrilling experience for adventure seekers. The colder temperature can lead to better snow conditions and less crowded slopes. It also requires more physical effort, making it a great workout.
As long as proper safety precautions are taken, skiing in 11 degrees can be safe. It is important to dress appropriately for the cold weather and to always follow the rules and guidelines set by the ski resort. It is also recommended to ski with a partner and to be aware of any potential hazards on the slopes.
The main danger of skiing in 11 degrees is the risk of hypothermia or frostbite due to the cold temperatures. It is important to dress in layers and to take breaks to warm up if needed. Other potential dangers include icy conditions and reduced visibility, which can make skiing more challenging.
In addition to the standard skiing equipment such as skis, boots, and poles, it is important to have proper cold-weather gear for skiing in 11 degrees. This includes a warm and waterproof jacket and pants, gloves, a hat or helmet, and goggles. It is also recommended to have hand and toe warmers for added comfort.
To make the most out of your skiing experience in 11 degrees, it is important to stay hydrated and to take breaks to warm up if needed. It is also helpful to adjust your skiing technique to accommodate for the colder temperatures. Additionally, make sure to check the weather and slope conditions before heading out to the slopes.
