First Day On Snow

 

While eager to get my first run on snow, I can't say the same for the process known as "booting-up". Spending my summers bare-foot at the beach lies in direct opposition to subjecting my feet to brutal ski-boot confinement in the winter. My feet are not happy right now...

This is Patrick Riml, USSA Alpine Program Director, giving us an over-view of the Ski Team Downhill/SG training hill.

 

I'm at top of the "OhNo Bowl" section of the course about halfway down...as always, the pic does not give the real steep-pitch perspective.
