Maple syrup, and turns, that’s living the life! I drove a couple hours north to pour the floor on my friend’s pole barn addition, it was only one truck, not to much for an old concrete guy that mostly has been supervising for the past twenty years. Sunday I skied at Boyne. It’s a very upscale resort...

@Stephen The last paragraph is excellent advice. I think it’s the essence of getting better. Practice making the right motions, to develop muscle memory. Take it steeper to find where your technique is challenged.

Stephen I’m not in the least surprised you caught me on that! ;) At Musk Ox, thank you that’s very kind. Certainly the Fjords offer great views, and some tasty morsels swimming around?

I didn’t mean that in a critical way. You just look like a young guy in your skiing videos.

Wow. I had no idea such terrain and snow existed in Oz! Time for a name change to Ahhhs!
Nice journey!

I skied a Summitcone Pariah this year at the ski hill and I really liked it. While I don’t really like scales for low angle skiing, I think they are really useful where full skins are required. In the East, just because you pulled skins, doesn’t mean traverses aren’t required. While wax would work w...
