Winter Woes

So it has been a very slow winter for me. Utah hasn't been getting anywhere close to the normal amount of snow. In fact I read last night on the Utah Avalanche website that the Wasatch is at 50% of normal. That sucks....... but it's bound to happen sometime. So I've been picky about the days that I ski because I want to continue to stay healthy and strong and I've found out that skiing hardpack aggressively day after day takes a toll on my and eternally sore tibias. I think actually the shin bang wouldn't return as fast if I didn't ski with my friends who feel its necessary to approach the cirque traverse at around 60 mph and keep that speed up even though there is a bombardment of uneven ice chunder mixed in with some pepper and twigs. I guess its all about finding the line through there, the line in which I have not found yet. Beside that the inbounds is fun as long as you keep the edges sharp and stay on edge. So what have I been doing? Well I ski about every other day and I continue to lift but I've also started a new term this week so I'm now trying to get ahead because next week there is supposed to be a pattern shift in the weather and I'm really looking forward to any new snow that comes our way. I've also just put together a slideshow located to the right of this post. Click on it and it will go full screen, I think. Just some pics of soft snow because we don't have any. Enjoy.
