Baller jjackkrash Posted February 11 Baller Share Posted February 11 I free ski set Yesterday just for conditioning to make the start of our season (March 10) less painful. It made me very happy to be on the water. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Mastercrafter Posted February 11 Baller Share Posted February 11 Skied yesterday. Big warmup, 6 passes, then stretched twice last night. I have lifted heavy weights and done a ton of conditioning and mobility work since I stopped skiing in October. I hurt so badly this morning I could barely stand up. This is a wild sport. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller markn Posted February 11 Baller Share Posted February 11 @MastercrafterI too lifted weights and got back into road biking. In good cardio shape and strong like bull, but smart like cow. Nothing can prepare you for skiing, but skiing. I'm a hurting puppy too! But it's a good hurt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller itsallyellow Posted February 12 Baller Share Posted February 12 I have managed to get two Skis this year so far over here in the UK. need to un-winterise and re-winterise each time, so unless the conditions are great i haven't bothered. Not skiing well just trying to keep the muscle groups working. Haven't managed to run all 6 this year yet....... I did however buy myself a full face Oniell Ninja mask. Wow what a difference! Well worth it for cold weather skiing. It feels like it has been windy since December over here. Waiting on some of those cold but still mornings! Picture below of the new mask, Not my best look!

Baller Ali Posted February 16 Baller Share Posted February 16 Skied all winter, water still has not got below 72F. Welcome to Miami. So far worn a camaro top on 5 sets, but I was sick for 2 of those so they should not count. Great time to change to a new boot set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller UWSkier Posted February 17 Baller Share Posted February 17 this is the first winter since moving from WI to AZ that I took an extended layoff. Had the first ski rides this morning since October and it went about how I'd have expected. Lots of unintentional tail turns by not bringing the hips through like I want to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller_ Rednucleus Posted February 18 Baller_ Share Posted February 18 February has been kind to me this year. 91 at HT today (45A 46W); rain held off till we were wiping the boat down. Ski you all next weekend! I have decided I tolerate cold water better than cold air. I tried the Sharkskin socks this weekend - couldn't get them to slide into my Animals even with rear laces all the way loose. My search for warmer feet continues. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Gale K Posted February 19 Baller Share Posted February 19 10 hours ago, Rednucleus said: "My search for warmer feet continues." My front in a Wileys is totally enclosed and fine. My rear open toe Wileys isn't. I bought latex socks way back when from Wileys, and I have been using one on my back foot ever since. Worn out several. Yes the foot has water around it in the sock, but no wind chill and my feet are fine. That same dive site I've referenced before has those socks. They are thin enough for me to easily get in my boot (with soap of course). Might give them a try! I will find the link and edit this post.

Baller_ Rednucleus Posted February 19 Baller_ Share Posted February 19 @Gale K I have a pair; years ago I tried them in my HO Extremes - slid in great with soap but after skiing could not get the ski off! But that was a different binding. I will try them in my animals and report back next weekend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller jjackkrash Posted February 19 Baller Share Posted February 19 They make thinner neoprene dive socks that will definitely take the bite out of the air and water. They slide on and off easily (like socks) and I can get my foot into an RTP. I would think they would slide into boots easily with a little soap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ Rednucleus Posted February 19 Baller_ Share Posted February 19 @jjackkrashmy buddy's a diiver and he brought out a pair of thin lycra socks to try. Even with soap could not get my heel to slide down. I thought they would be the fix. It's llike the rough texture of the Animals grabs anything but soapy skin. Maybe if the latex ones won't release from the binding once the soap is out, I could wear the lycras and they would release from the latex.

Baller Gale K Posted February 20 Baller Share Posted February 20 Who cares if you can't get OUT of the ski?!? Just means you're ready for your next set! 😂😂😂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Cnewbert Posted February 20 Baller Share Posted February 20 @Rednucleus have you tried putting one of those thin plastic grocery bags down the heel side of your boot, sliding your foot in then pulling the bag out? They work great for drysuits, wetsuits, cowboy boots… just about any kind of boot or tight opening where your foot (hand, head) needs to slip through a restricted opening with minimal resistance.
