Overcast, flurries, temps around 10F. Took the day off (happy birthday, me!), slept in, and made it up for a midday GS session on Twist. Chris J set, big distance, big off set, to really try and feel the edge and roll it over. I took out the 2023 skis (188/27.5) for the first time, and after a couple of runs, they started to feel much more natural. Got away from the big stiv move on the pitch but still had a bit of a redirect, but ... starting to feel better.

Really had fun, starting to feel better about how I'm skiing.

After training, headed over to the Basin, where it was significantly colder and windier. Took 4 runs before calling it a day - big arcs on the Enforcers from Chet's to Ptarmigan, down Bennett's and Fire Bowl, and then a run off 6 down Deuces Wild. Really fun day. Left with a big old smile.
