It has been a while since I had been out and I was jonesin' for it. I talked CJ into going out with me and we headed up to Silverfork (we listened to NPR on the way up). I was quickly awakened that one day a week for the past couple weeks is not enough to keep me in shape. I need to get out more or take a jog or something around the neighborhood. We made our way up around 7:10 or so (I was running a little behind our 7:00 schedule).
It was surprisingly cold out today. Even when the sun was shining I still had my heavier coat on (I am in need of a new down coat - I saw some super sweet ones at the OR show). The skiing was pretty nice, nothing to write home about, but nice nonetheless. We found some good snow, but I was looking forward to getting back d
own the canyon in time enough to relax at my parents' house for lunch before I needed to head back up for my avy course. We didn't hit much on the North aspect, but on the South aspect there was maybe 6"-7" of soft stuff on top of a thick ice crust. Skiing it wasn't all that bad, though, since we knew what we were getting ourselves into. It was actually a considerable amount better than I expected. It was a nice way to spend my morning, but it was also a rude awakenin
g of how out of shape I can get so quickly and how much more training I need in order to do the Powderkeg again this year. PS. Check out how the snow didn't stick on my Phish sticker. I think this is a sign that they should get back together. What do you think?
