Day 3 It is some what regret I have not ski enough challenged trial at Killington in last 2 days. I was thinking how I could go some trials that I have not skied without lost myself by return time. We only have half day to ski today. I plan to escape today's lesson. After 2 warm up runs, Terry, Lyne, and Sassine came. They all STEP 8 skiers. If I go with them, they have to wait for me a little. When they invited me I was more than happy to join. I feel I was extreme fast to chasing behind the three faster people. We did not find Needles' Eye trial until 5th attempt. We also entered a big mogul trial by mistake. Since it covered by fresh snow, I could manage to ski down. The energy I spent in the morning should be more than the whole day of previous day did. Unfortunately my iPhone 5 did not record any run! It was a very nice ski day. Full of sunshine, no wind, not feel cold though I still run nose frequently. In some area, the lift chair is only 5~6 feet above snow ground. What great time it is!We had lunch at Killington Peak. It has very good food options. I ordered chess pasta with shrimp. We met Bill Bates at lunch. He is an instructor, retired like Ray. I heard he can ski very fast though I did not see. afterwards I heard he taught STEP 7 today. If I stay for lesson, I could learn from him. I was so tired and decided not ski any more after lunch. Terry and Lyne joined me. We ski down from peak. At base, Terry asked me if I can ski the green one more time. Well, after all the challenged runs, the green run can give you more great feelings. We will leave Killington a couple of hours later. Why not to ski a little more? There are best green runs at Killington. Terry and I skied as fast as we could. It must somewhat interfered the people taking beginner lesson there. Sorry! We only reserved 2 hotel rooms as change room. Some people even want to take shower. We left later and took more time on the road. Finally I arrived home about 1:00am Monday morning . Like bus trip to Quebec last year, on the bus to home I felt something tight stretched at the back of the wounded knee.
Don't remember why I did not go skiing for 3 weeks. May be I was sick after swimming in cooler water on Jan. 2nd. 今年第一次去BM。7:43am出发,9:27pm抵家。三个星期没锻炼了,除了累,没啥感觉,小腿,大胳膊都快要抽筋了。 10:30am在P3买好票,鞋还没换,一看表都10:44am,离上课集合只剩六分钟了。匆匆穿戴齐全就溜了。 今天step 6 有4个学生,Jacky 和Jim夫妇,Wing和我。上次的同学Yvon也来了,她老是说个不停,继续在Step 5。今天的课上的每啥意思,Wing经常拖后退,Jacky基本不会平行滑,但他们和教练熟,教练关注她多些。Jim总坚持最后滑,不知他滑啥样。只有一趟教练让我跟她,才有机会模仿她的动作。 下课后赶去P2和同雪们聚餐,晚了点,他们先上山了。吃完饭又赶去P1找他们,和他们在黑道上冲了几个小时。我就是拖后腿的了! 4:00pm左右又去歇了一下。坐下就不想起来了,但又舍不得就此不滑了。这时候气温更低了,风很大。P2刚刚压过雪,冲起来很爽,可我已经累了,我老担心最后没劲刹车,彻底失控。面罩湿了结冰帖在脸上无法忍受。后来去了P1,401滑了几趟,遇到一些滑夜场的同雪。我彻底不想滑了。去换了厚面罩,从P1滑到P2取了包又滑到P3,特别是走那几段平道,我就快虚脱了。好在回来有同雪开车,我休息了一路。 滑雪,一定要有好的体力! 下午5:00pm之后用ski track纪录了最后几趟,最高时速59km/hr。这东西肯定不准,我的速度不应该是尖的脉冲啊!
