Ski Cooper, Colorado

Thursday, February 9, 2023

Overcast with flurries. Breezy. Temps in the mid single digits. DH camp! Two runs of slipping (a couple inches of snow overnight), then inspection with the group. Fairly easy set, try and stay in the tuck as much as possible, keep a flat ski. My feet froze after slipping, snow got in. Ugh. So, first three runs of training I didn't strip down, and ... I was slow, but getting used to the big 208/40 skis.

Went in for 30 mins for a warm-up and changing socks, and then we got two more runs. I stripped down to the suit for those runs and shaved about 7 seconds ... competitive with JRice, so pretty happy with that. A good intro to DH, though I do wish it were warmer!
