@Rico you rat bastard

Thanks for the terrible idea @‌Rico

 

I spent a ride running 32 off at 36 mph today. Missed my first one and then ran maybe 5 more. They all sucked until the last one or two. Why did I do this?

I've been thinking about trying this but at -28 just to mix things up. Might just save the exercise for open water however...

We run a 36 mph mini-tourney among 34 mph skiers the day after skiwatch with typically 4 or so skiers. This year @MS got it done running straight thru 35 off at 36. TJ went thru 32 off and down at 35. @razorskier1 blew an early pass, then "non-santioned" re-do went thru 35 off at 36. I was only the driver this year given my healing neck.

 

It's really kinda fun. Last year everyone was forced to start at 22/36 which was a scary pass...I hadn't skied 22 for probably 10 years and thought that was the toughest pass. No one looked good there and most had to gut it out. Once up to 28 off everyone started to look better.

@MS told me that if things aren't working, ski some 36mph and it will get you back on track. I struggled all weekend at SkiWatch at 34mph. Skied some 36mph and suddenly felt great, a feeling which lasted the entire month of October. @MS and @rico must be on to something.

I try to do a few 36 mph passes each season. But, after reading this, I may make it a regular training tool and ski some each week. I do enjoy the extra speed.

@Horton How did you miss? Love the thread title.

I thought it would be: "Only run the first 5 balls of each pass"

[Horton]

@thompjs‌ now that is funny

 

@ms I scored a @Rico on my first try
