Post Whats on your Skmind

getting day 100 today, didn’t think I’d make it within the normal season. buck hill doing a last chance hike park but somehow it’s windy and 40 with no sun here today. conditions should be interesting
 
Took my worst slam in a couple years today. I took a chute at Alta with some speed and lost it in the runout

Smashed my sunglasses and cut open my eyebrow. My ribs hurt a lot, but I don't think anything's broken. I might be slightly concussed which isn't great news for the closing day party tomorrow. Feels bad to get hurt and go home right as the snow was starting to soften up

sun came out just before it started and it ended up being a perfect day

So fun
 
Next season is the first time I'll be on a full adult price Alta pass. It's $1400 and I'm broke as fuck rn. I'm gonna graduate with a CS degree in the fall and trying to work full time next season. $1400 is a lot of money to only be able to ski overcrowded weekends.

Been feeling kinda burnt out on being broke and stunting my career just so I can ski weekdays. The growing desire to finally "grow up" and the hustle and bustle of LCC has lost a lot of the charm Alta use to have on me.

I've been entertaining the idea of taking a break from skiing but honestly, it's a little scary to step away from something that has been my focus for the last 10 years. Does anyone have any advice or words of wisdom on taking a break from skiing?

I built them up so much and they were always so intimidating in my mind, but theyre not that bad. now front 3 swap is a different story. can do em unnat but never done one nat and the rotation kinda spooks me

For me, it’s way easier to get catastrophically tangled up/tip catch on the rail during rotation on a front 3 swap vs back 3 swap

Such a fun day! I lost sleep over missing that grab last night. Jk I lost sleep because my aching knee woke me up in the morning. Idk how your knees dont hurt the way you land half your rodeos on jump 2

I can picture unnat front 3 swap being not too different from a 2 on but natural seems spooky af. Not good enough at right front 4 to want to try one lol

Dude yeah. These dudes were crushing the Bad Religion tunes, like sounded almost better than the albums which is rare for cover bands. Anyone know if WP will have a little park setup for the remainder of the season? Corn and bynps aren't bad either

Psa. Don’t ask your fellow lift riders if it’s cool to smoke weed then proceed not to pass said weed the entire ride. Puff puff pass.

Next season will mark 11 years working at a ski resort for me but I kind-of really miss just working some non-ski related job and being able to go fuck around on your days off stress-free without having to be in boots 7 days/week. But you're also broke as shit and it's your only way to be able to ski because of free ticket abilities by not having to drop $1200 on a piece of plastic.
