Speaking of kick ass...
Mikaela Shiffrin is unleashing a major whoop ass on the competition.
She is just a little bit awesome..

10 day forecast is looking pretty weak for NW WA snow. Some sort of temp inversion has the snow level up too high considering it's 40deg outside right now.

Ahhh, from a long time ago. I wouldn't want to put my artificial hip at risk (though my cousin does, or did a few years ago with downhill skis) even if I was in shape these days for it.

Some time ago I read an article from 2017 that talked about the demise of Tele skiing and gear but I see some skis and bindings labeled as Telemark are still being sold.

Free the heels- free the mind...

Drop the knee, squat to pee!

Free the heel, ski for real!

Tele 'til you're smelly!

Her training regiment is insane. There's a video out there somewhere. She's a beast.

She's a beast.

She will be the GOAT. I think she's only 24.

@Swimmy nice machine. It would be better if it was a Ski-Doo, but whatever... I've spent many a powder day riding my machine up into the back country of Montana and boarding out.

I'm far too busy fishing to excercise

Whatever floats your boat. I have no doubt it's fun. Just doesn't interest me. Honestly anything that takes my time and money away from fishing just isn't my cup of tea.

To each their own of course. I dig the pics, and I'm sure its enjoyable...just not for me.

You can do both in the same day. I do it all the time... Go for a morning cutthroat session, then when I break the two foot mark with the cutthroat I go up on the mountain.

Day 2 for me tomorrow ...... had to get some meat in the freezer first but I have buddies already into the teens in days this year..... first hill here was open in October but the fishing was still to good to put the boat away for me .......

He doesn't like exercise, or skiing, or trout. Hope that helps.

Oh and Santa came early
