2 Ski Pictures

There are 2 pictures of me skiing @ Schweitzer.

Ice and Wind

Today it was icy and windy. My hands were really cold. We could not go off the groomers without going on ice. Ice is not very fun to ski.
We are hoping for snow soon.

Pygmy-Bicycle Tuck

Today I learned a new tuck. Brian, my funatics coach, taught me it. It has the speed of a pygmy tuck and the control of a normal tuck. To do it, you do a normal tuck then pick up your feet - one up, one down - like riding a bicycle. We did it all the way down zip down. It was fun and fast.

Stranded

Today I went skiing at Schweitzer Mountain Resort. Me and my Funatics group were boot skiing for awhile then we went down to ride up and do nastar but they had lost power to the Stella chair lift. So we were stuck on the back side with no way up and out. Some people had to be taken off the lift by rope. We built a boot skiing course. I found a snow cave. It was small. They were about to take us up in a snow cat when they got the auxillary power up and going. So rode up the lift. Schweitzer gave us all free lift tickets, hot chocolate and lunch.

Wind hold

Two chair lifts are closed because the wind is to strong.

Bright and Early

I'm going skiing today. I ski with my Funatics group on Sundays. My coach is cool. His name is Brian and he's a really good skier and a good coach.

I'll report later.
