Afternoon thunderstorms have thrown a wrench in the "go skiing after work" plan this week.

PM - Skinned 1800' at Alta w/ Andrea. Snow was mashed potatoes. It started raining at 8500' which means the season is winding down in the Wasatch. But maybe we can hold on a bit longer.

PM - Skinned 1800' at Alta w/ Andrea. We caught a perfect weather window and the new snow has covered up all the snirt. Conditions are pretty good, especially compared to a few days ago. I don't know precisely why, but I had even more fun than usual skiing today.

AM - Skied 5 laps at Alta w/ Andrea [4400']. An overachieving storm brought us 16" of new snow (and zero visibility). Great late-season surprise... glad we didn't hang 'em up yet. Lots of people out skiing, lots of fun!

PM - 5 miles.

There were about 50 cars in the Goldminer's Daughter parking lot when we finished skiing a little before noon. Not bad!

AM - 8 miles.

Over the past few days I've felt noticeably better on my morning runs to work. A little looser, a touch faster. Maybe the combo of PT / standing desk / renewed hot tub membership is starting to pay off. Getting back to competition is not my main priority right now. I want to get healthy and regain my athleticism (I need to be able to rip moguls again!). We have a fun summer with all kinds of traveling and vacations planned. And I'm busy with work - in a very good way. But maybe if things go well there's a chance I could return to some racing later this year. If I'm healthy at the end of the summer, I could potentially see myself "training" this fall. For now, I'm motivated to extend the ski season for another month... and I need to drop a half-stone before I start running harder again. I haven't really missed training hard over the past two months. I love recreational running just as much as focused training so I've simply been happy to be able to run every day.

For the record, I'm actually a little nervous about Ragnar in a month!

AM - Suicide Chute aka "Country Lane" [1500'].

PM - 8 miles (4 w/ Andrea).

A photo I posted last week revealed an empty parking lot to the untrained eye, but to us it showed that a classic line on Mt Superior was very much still in play. When we drove by on Memorial Day the exit looked to be just wide enough to ski through. Since that might only last a few more days it was either now or never next year. We went up this morning to check it out... parked at the base, booted the couloir at a good clip, skied down with lots of jump turns, and then went to work. It was a fun adventure to start the day (beautiful morning!) and set the tone for some more stoke-chasing this weekend!

AM - Wolverine Cirque, skied Granny Chute twice. Teton-style approach for about a mile before we could start skinning. A little extra effort to get back there, but worth it [2500'].

PM - 7 miles. Ran one mile hard (~3% downhill) in 5:23. Not quite all-out but close.

AM - Pipeline Couloir [3500'].

PM - 4 miles w/ Andrea.

We were planning on heading to the Uintas today, but changed our objective last night and decided to finally climb and ski the Pipeline. Glad we did - it was an amazing morning. One of our best outings this season and capped a fun week of chute-themed steep skiing on some classic lines. This one deserves a full trip report (link above).
