tele skiing is so much fun I started last march and they are def difficult to get used to but Im fairly competent on them now having 19 yrs of alpine skiing experience helped alot too. But the major thing Ive noticed is how it hs helped to refine my alpine skills and is also making my quads mad strong. ---

> [@cazwrx187](#): > > Going in the tree’s or backcountry seems mad dangerous. Knee+rock/tree stump= :errr My knees arent dragging on the ground. Also alot of tele skiers wear knee pads. But tele skis actually make backcountry skiing alot easier. They weigh about 5lbs less than standard skis and when combined with climbing skins theres really no more efficient way to earn your turns. ---

Just got back from Jiminy it was pretty sick, they prolly got 8 inches or so. We were just duckin ropes most of the night and skiing the trails that are usually open in the day but not at night, it was good times. Also ace of spades went untouched for a loonnng portion of the night and we were gettin tracks on that all night. Plus the way the wind was blowing it was loading the edges of the trails nicely making it seem deeper than it really was in spots. ---

Ill be at Magic for opening day on Monday. No crowds and 20+ inches of unmolested fresh powder to ride will be worth the winds and bone chilling temps lol. ---

Magic picked up 25 inches of snow as of about 3pm and it was still snowing a little after 3. They are gonna have 38 of their 40 trails open and the ones that are closed you can still ski they are just recommended to be closed. There will be no one there so if you have $39 and an older pair of skis and feel like doin some freeride type skiing/boardig should check it out some time this week before the shitty weather gets here on Wednesday potentially. ---

Magic was insane, 26 inches, no crowd and I nabbed first tracks on 3 of my favorite trails. Heres a couple pics of what every trail looked like today: ![http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b28/skierdood/1222081020.jpg](http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b28/skierdood/1222081020.jpg) ![http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b28/skierdood/1222081021.jpg](http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b28/skierdood/1222081021.jpg) ![http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b28/skierdood/1222081024.jpg](http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b28/skierdood/1222081024.jpg) First tracks: ![http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b28/skierdood/1222081137a.jpg](http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b28/skierdood/1222081137a.jpg) Def probably the deepest day I’ve had on the east coast in a Looonngggg time. ---

yeah but I was at mt snow for that one, so it was crowded and you had to battle other skiers. Plus it was windy and carinthia was the only lift turning. I’ll take 26" of back to back untouched runs over the 30" day last year. I skied magic again today and got more powder snow skiing in. Here’s all the people I had to share the mtn with (this is seriously everyone): ![http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b28/skierdood/1223081253.jpg](http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b28/skierdood/1223081253.jpg) [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/anyone-ski-or-snowboard/240395.md?page=6) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/anyone-ski-or-snowboard/240395.md?page=8)
