Day 7: More A-Basin
I managed to make it out again this morning to get a few runs in. The snow is still dust on crust and I really don’t want to fall. I think last week’s crash put a little fear in me. I’ve never been hit that hard by a skier, ug. Anyway, I continued to work on posture and riding style today. Right at the end of my day, everything kind of clicked and felt in sync again. I wanted to keep playing, but the mountain was getting more and more crowded and I have to get ready for a house warming party tonight.
There was a bit of snow coming down all day. It wasn’t much, but I sure was happy to see it. When I was driving up to the mountain, I picked up a couple of rogues hitch-hiking back up Loveland Pass. They encouraged me to take the run, but the ample amount of exposed rocks and stumps didn’t really appeal to me. Still, they started getting me stoked for the day. This is the surf-like subculture I was hoping to find here in Colorado. I love meeting people bouncing with positive energy.
Hopefully I can get some riding in tomorrow, a few days over the Thanksgiving holiday, and then a few more days the following weekend at Keystone 36. That should give me a good 6 or 7 more days before November shuts out. We’ll see how things go.
