My Skiing
Alpine ski racing, early freestyle circuit, teaching, backcountry skiing, freeheel, ski mountaineering, mostly on heavy freeheel gear.
Currently ski backcountry and lift assist, prefer to backcountry for interesting downhill skiing. I like pretty much everything, but tour to turn on steeper stuff. Like all kinds of snow from windpack to powder.
Goals are to continue to learn and enjoy skiing. 67 years old with several decades of heavily restricted to no skiing (try to avoid that!) and hope to get back to steeper stuff in the backcountry. So far, old tricks are coming back, albeit a bit slowly.
