Skier Days: Sara(49), Caroline(22), Susan(25), Charles(37)

Powder Days: Susan(3), Charles(2)

Today started better than yesterday with a light flurries salting some of the ground laid bare by yesterdays rain. Sara was over at Sugarloaf so I had no rushing about this morning.  I woke up early, made a yummy breakfast.  The conditions did not warrant skiing today so I did some Wii Fit Yoga.  It is terribly demoralizing to be told you are virtually ancient. My main weakness is anything that has to do with balancing on one leg.  It was also really funny to have it try to encourage me along since I had not used it in over 376 days.. Nonetheless the biofeedback may actually help me develop some of that balance that it tells me I am missing.   A quick shower and I managed to get in a really productive day.  

There was one break to run down to the Tune Shop and pick up the skis that I had left on Sunday night.  The Wintersteiger does indeed rock and put a really nice factory finish on them that I just can't get to when I hand tune.  I stopped to lock around at the mountain and was impressed that the damage was not as severe as I had expected.   Nonetheless there were some nasty dirty spots here and there and were it not for the groomers and snow making things would be much worse.  

Sara called to check in briefly late in the afternoon, but she is not one to talk much when she is with the crowd.  She seemed happy and was looking forward to the Super G tomorrow afternoon.  In the meantime we arranged to have our old friend Chantal and her daughter stay at our place next week for the Speed Camp that is Thursday and Friday.   Should be another great week.

It's 31 degrees right now and I am really hoping it drops a couple of degrees more so that they can start running the snow guns tonight.  Tomorrow is my own chance to race in the "Locals Challenge"..
