Lake Tahoe, Nevada: Hitting the slopes again today.

Enjoy and stay safe.

I saw your original post about both you and your wife. I'm sorry to have read that you can no longer enjoy these experiences. Are either of you able to still participate any any sport activities?

Oh yes....we will get back on the sticks. I modified my post as I felt like I was whining and didn't want to bring down your fun thread.

Instead of skiing we hike with our dog most days and a little snow shoeing when we get dumped on. We'll get back out skiing next year hopefully. Heck, I have a new pair of skis and bindings sitting in the spare room (unmounted) that I must try out before they're deemed "vintage" LOL.

p.s. My wife is a better skier than me. I have to chase her thru the bumps as she's always out front carving them so smooth.

The hard days for me are when I go skiing, then get home and the dogs insist on going hiking for a few miles!

Skiing injuries, like many sports injuries, are so unpredictable. One ski race coach I know tore his ACL falling over from a standstill on the flat; another expert skier crunched his medial meniscus cruising on a beginner slope. I've been an aggressive skier skiing anything lift-served and a fair amount of hike-to terrain, lots of moguls, and at age 62 the worst I've had is a broken thumb which didn't cost me even one day off skiing, knock on wood.

Ha! I know that feeling myself!

These are very tired eyes from a long day of skiing but...I am totally in a state of Nirvana!

David.......When I ski there's a boat in front of me.

My last time on the slopes was at Timberline Lodge on Mt Hood in Oregon. Beautiful up there, too. I didn't ski, but the Hot Buttered Rums by the fire in the big hearth put a smile on my face.

I'm with you on this one, Dan... after I tool around on the internet a bit, I am hooking up with friends to intoxicate myself by a warm fire.

Heading up to go skiing after I finish another cup of coffee. Anyone hitting the slopes today?

We just bought some land 20 min from the ski lifts. More so for the trout quad riding and drone flying. Seeing these photos of those fabulous vistas really want me to get back into it. We've been talking about it and I think this winter down under will be our time to get back to the slopes again.

 

[Golucid]

@Steve. It would be pretty slick if you shared some photos from down under. I've been to your country as well as New Zealand, loved it...decorated my xmas tree with things from NZED. And Fiji was a serious awesome adventure.

Looking around on my computer for skiing pictures, I realize that we just don't take that many. Here's a couple though....

 

[Golucid]

@Mike, those are very kewl! Nice shots. I need to come ski Colorado - bucket list

Lucky bastards. I miss the west coast. Moreover, I miss those majestic mountain views and that delicate, powdery snow.
