we target getting to lake lousie at 8.15 and just park in lot 4 - usually row 5 or so close to the walkway. when we left, it was nuts how far down the road people were parked. it seems so far that just getting from your car to the lodge would be way too much work for me to want to ski and at the end of the day it would seem like a death march.

the weather yesterday was a nice temp; however, later on in the morning/early afternoon the wind at top of the world was something else.

now my thoughts on the new skis (rossingol basalt 82's) - they sure seemed a lot more stable and i felt like i was skiing a lot faster (garmin suggested that my average speed was about 5 kph faster than my prior outings this year).

boots were alright (i guess they felt like i expect ski boots to feel). i need to have some work done around my one ankle bone which is a little bigger and rubs and gets annoyed thru the day.
