Ski Day Report

Test Day

ALTA, UT — I drove up to Alta instead of Snowbird today to take advantage of the easier parking, smaller crowds, and more forgiving terrain. I had planned on trying out my new Lange RX 110's from Surefoot (long story), but I immediately removed them from my feet because I knew that all they were going to do was cause pain. So, I skied with my old Salomons again.

I had the liners from my Tecnica Agents in the Salomons. As I had said previously, the Agent's liners are thinner, longer, and more flexible than the stock Salomon liner. This combination seems to be an improvement. The left boot felt nearly perfect. The right one is definitely not perfect, but I'm 99% sure I know the exact area of the shell that is causing the problem, so I will probably try to get that spot fixed. The pain/numbness caused by that one spot is manageable, however.

Aside from the boot shit, I just ripped the shit out of some Sunnyside Home Run runs. My legs are definitely not in skiing shape, but today will definitely help. I called it quits at around 2:15.
