I can’t believe it’s not winter

I’ve been enjoying the last bit of winter, here in my neck of the woods. The snow will be too far gone, on my home strip, for skis, after this week. 

I did find the limits of my Federal 1500 skis, a few days ago. Eighteen inches of rotten snow, loose, wet, granulated ice, under four or five inches of crust. Sorry, no pictures of that adventure. Yes, I did fly out of it, after getting unstuck for the sixth time. 
 

Two lessons from that. One, hard crust in the morning can be a very soft mess in the afternoon. Two, skin those skis with plastic to widen them. I’ve thought about it since I got them, but never had a problem until now. It’s a good thing I didn’t find those limitations on a glacier, or in the mountains. 
 

Misadventures aside, I’m enjoying the nice warm weather, and being careful where and when I land.

Glad you are having a good time.  I pulled my skis off a week and a half ago, and since then we got two storms that dropped about 8" each time.  JImChuk
