Two more days to enter the Secret Santa!
Entries must be in by midnight on November 29th. We're kicking off the 2024 Secret Santa! Exchange gifts with other monkeys - from beer and snacks, to bike gear, to custom machined holiday decorations and tools by our more talented members, there's something for everyone.
I did that Friday. But it was a double eject and it took 5min to find my skis.
Good times!! This was me Friday as well. Literally, that is me in the gif. I have never skied in waist deep snow. There is a learning curve! I feel three times on the run, which I thought wasn't that bad.
Tips up and go fast. Keep you tips up! And... I've stopped.
It's like when you get sketchy in the car - never lift.
Also: keep an almost even weight on both skis at all times. Once you weight the one, it'll submarine and the other one will start heading to the surface.
And keep those skis close together. And bounce like Tigger.
You should have told me that on Friday. It would have made things less difficult, I'm sure.
But you were waiting for meI ain't no instructor.
You know... not for long. You must have had SOME idea of what you were doing.
This I remember well from my once-in-a-lifetime waist deep POW experience in my old country.
Also, deep POW is slow.
I have been off skis for over 20 years. do folks still use powder leashes like we did back in the day?
Our skis have brakes now... honestly I have no idea. @SkaredShtles to the white courtesy phone.
we had brakes, but we used leashes in deep powder to avoid having to search and dig
I do remeber people attaching long bright streamers to skis and rolling them up, stuffing in the boot cuff (not attached to person) so they could find skis in deep snow.
Not very common, but you do still see them occasionally.
