But it was COLD! -4 degrees F at the Base and 0 degrees at the top. Brrrrr!
And it was beautiful! Most of the snow was pretty tracked out, but still soft and easily turnable.
Of course, James wanted to go hiking for "fresher" turns. So we did. Twice.
Video of James skiing out of the chutes that we hiked to ski.
Considering the outside temperature, it was still hot after hiking. James needed to cool down. So I pushed him over into the snow. (Nice Daffy James!)
And then I "fell" - so that James wouldn't need to push me.
Merry Christmas!
And when we finally got home and opened our presents - guess what Santa brought us!? A new ski tuning table - complete with vices and wax and scrapers and p-tex and an apron. Awesome! (The skis are James' new 4-front skis - not a Christmas present - he had to sell his Gotamas to buy these.)
P.S. We had lots of fantastic presents from family too! Thanks everyone.
