Well ... this is the very first full season of snow riding for the wife and I. We went out like three times at the end of last season and both of us had been on skis a few times earlier on in our lives. Neither of us ever learned how to do it right though. Anyway ... it's been a great season ... got to do shredfest and meet some great people. Rode about a dozen or so times and might get in one or two more before all is done for the spring.
Our season is winding down out here in Oregon ... starting to get slushy... so I thought I'd post up some footage from today. Wife is on her Mary Janes (her third time out on them) and I'm on the Spruce 120 (still trying to figure this one out - I don't seem to be able to make it do what I can do on the KTP but it's coming along and I am enjoying the ride it gives me).
The wife has come a long way this season. Did her first real black runs today and is starting to get more confidence. I'm just trying to be more efficient, not flail around like an idiot, and not burn my legs out half-way through the day.
Thanks to everyone on here who gave me great advice on board selection, other gear, riding tips, etc. Mucho thanks to G for making great products available. Much love to the shredfest crew - I had a blast and look forward to riding with you all again.
Looking forward to more progress next year.
