The forum discussion centers on a skiing trip where participants experienced varying weather conditions, from 50 degrees Fahrenheit to 11 degrees at the mountain's peak. Skiers shared their experiences navigating Mott Canyon, specifically runs 5 and 6, and discussed the challenges of dressing appropriately for the fluctuating temperatures. Participants highlighted the importance of proper gear, such as ski masks and face shields, to combat cold and snow while skiing. The conversation also touched on the difficulties of mogul runs and the enjoyment of gladed runs through the woods.
PREREQUISITESThis discussion is beneficial for recreational skiers, winter sports enthusiasts, and anyone planning a skiing trip, particularly those interested in navigating varying weather conditions and ski terrain.
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.russ_watters said:
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).
