Last year was our second year on tele skis and we both agreed that the first day on the slopes was awful! The motions felt gorky and the bottoms of our feet got cramped up in agony. You use those foot muscles a lot on, especially on teles. Of course, things got better after a few times on the skis and we both saw huge improvements by the end of the season (40 days on the slopes will help). However, this year, we both secretly worried that it would be just as awful a first day. Boy were we surprised! No gorkiness! We both flowed right into smooth tele turns. We weren't exactly were we left off at the end of last season, but I think we'll be there pretty soon. And although we felt some foot cramping, it was nothing like the pain we experienced last year.
So, we had a wonderful day and ended it early on a high note - beers at Jack's! Cheers to a great ski season!

Is that pale ale in Jesper's glass or are you having tea? Jen's looks like black tea or dark ale...

Free,
Jesper was drinking some kind of pale ale and I was drinking a 2 Below, a seasonal dark ale made by New Belgium Brewing, one of our fine Colorado breweries. Way overpriced at the ski resort, but tasty after a long day on the slopes. Come to think of it though, hot tea would be nice on a cold day.
