Up earl this morning in anticipation of a wonderful day of skiing. I feel like i have that Christmas morning feeling every time i wake like this. Grey skies look to be ready to part ways and, sucomb to the sunny days we are know for here in Aspen Snowmass. I will be wearing my Signal patrol glove today because they work in any conditions and i know the weather will again change back to snowy and cool before the day is over. I hope the team all shows on time today. Being as though yesterday we had a few stragglers. I really Want Hunter, Blake, and Niles to ski with us on a more consistent basis. A call home to moms may be in-order. Our program is very unique and to get the most out of it you need full participation. I have been working with landing percentages lately trying to hold these guys accountable for their progression. Stomp 2 tricks out of 3 w/ the grab and then the athletes are able to move on to more revolutions. Off the subject i want to say that Nordica skis are so sick. I love there socks too. I really have been happy with their product and can't wait to try more. Maybe ill get to ski test like i have in the past out in Snowbird. Thats always a fun time. Sam Bass and the gang were always putting on a classy test.
Speaking of equipment, i had to adjust a few bindings yesterday morning. If your reading this and you know its a powder day crank those din settings. While negotiating the Big Burn at Snowmass mountain yesterday i had an athlete double eject from her skis . Everyone on the team just kind of skied right by her is if she was fine. Turns iut she lost 1 of her skis, it only took her a min or to to find it but, with so much snow and the way ig gets punchy and layered from accumulation and temp change. The ski has a tendency to submarine. You don't want to spend half your day cyphering through snow to find that needle in the haystack. So thats my tip for the day. Keep those din setting appropriate to the conditions, it only takes 2 seconds to stop at a tool bench on the mountain and adjust them or pay the price. You know that old saying there are no friends on a powder day? Well there is a limit to how much one can wait for another, but if it involves a lost ski, stop and help a fellow ski bretheren when in need of a hand. Ok that wraps it up for today, hope you all have a . Again Smith optics reigns supreme when it comes to comfortable eye wear. If you have a pair let your friends know; if you don't, get you christmas list into Santa soon. because they are going fast. Powder to the Peaceful!
