Since most of us given snowfall have skied our first days this 2018/2019 season, recollection of how our first day and first few hours on skis went ought still be reasonably fresh. Thus asking for some general input on how versus your usual mid season form and style, that went?
- What resort and upon what type of slope did you first take your very first runs on?
- What about advanced runs say later that day?
- Was it a fun day? Were you happy to be back sliding on snow and now eager for more?
- How did your body parts feel and change during the day? Legs, knees, back, ankles, shoulders...
- What about your form, edging, and balance skills? Did that change during the day?
- What about keeping your balance forward without getting in the backseat?
- What usual mid season form and skills will take more time to come up to speed with?
- Were you on familiar skis/boots or new gear?
- Any soreness by the end of the first day or upon waking the next morning?
- How many years/decades have you been skiing and how does this year's start compare to other season starts?
