Keep your tips up, there wasn’t really any base at Magic so be aware of shit trying to rip your skis off. After this snow packs down and we get another round of snow, backcountry should be golden. ---

Last Saturday they had a foot of natural in the woods add that to the 16 they got yesterday and the wind blowing the snow into the woods, my wide skis for floatation and I may be able to keep the damage to a minimum… hopefully lol. ---

I picked it up within minutes. Only did it for 1.5hrs last week. Yesterday I spent 3hrs up there and by the 2nd hr I was carving a little bit. Next time, I’ll be good. > [@Any nutritionists here?](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/any-nutritionists-here/38362/20): > > I’ll race you for 20 bucks. I’m not into speed yet. Have to learn how to carve/stop to slow myself down quickly. Once that happens, I’ll be pushing the limit. Some kids sit on their skis and fly by me. First time I saw that I though that person wiped out :lol. ---

Lifts break down all the time. The only reason they are getting media attention is because of what happened in maine. I was on a lift at Magic mtn that blew a motor and was stuck for almost two hours not a dangerous thing.
