if anyone remembers my other threads, i was the snowboarder that really wanted to try skiing...well i finally got equipment, and today was my first day on the mountain
let me just say it was awesome. i love learning new things. it was so different from snowboardingg, and im sure i made an idiot out of myself the first 2 or 3 runs. i gotta say the learning curve is fast though...i had my turns tight and took runs down every open run at bear creek by the end of the day...i heard my arms were all over the place though...and it was definitely tough spending my first time on 174s when im 5'8" and 130lbs
im supprised at how fatigued i got...i mean im on a division one track team and im used to snowboarding too...but this was unreal how tired my shins/calves and quads were...is this normal?
im leaving at 7am to try to get first tracks at blue mt tomorrow(or i guess today, wow its a little late)...anyways any tips for a first...well, second time skier? what should i be doing with my arms? (i am using poles). any tips to take some of the stress off my shins/calves and quads? general tips to make me not look like a noob?
