Last week I was wearing shorts and flip-flops in the desert. Now I’m back at Beaver Creek and it’s full-on winter. There are heaps of snow here and more is forecast to be arriving. On Friday I took my first runs of the 2005-2006 season. I have to admit I was a bit nervous about how my “new” back would feel on the slopes. Fortunately, everything seems to be in order in there. Even made some progress toward having better form. Here’s a pic of Derek Tan, Shay Doll and myself at mid-mountain.

As predicted, more snow fell yesterday and today. Here’s a pic of the trusty Subaru. Hooray for 4wd! (Yup, that’s Sara sitting next to it so you can gauge for yourself how deep the fluff is)

The FIS World Cup made it’s annual stop at the Beave, so I spent a good part of the weekend watching the best skiers in the world tackle the icy pitches of our steepest terrain. These guys can change direction on rock-hard snow at 80mph! It was quite a thrill to see that. Very inspiring!!
