I'm going to take a lesson or two next season. Have him ride with me and point out bad habits to improve on.

edit: I was pretty proud of myself on my last couple of runs at Crystal last Saturday night though. I passed more people than those who passed me, including a bunch of skiers that I let drop in ahead of me (though they weren't bombing it like my wife likes to do). I don't have a GPS to measure my speed or anything but I felt like I was cooking on those runs, at least for me.

You can get free ones for your smart phone. They're accurate enough and gives you a sense of what you're doing.

Your assumption that I have a smart phone is the problem with that though, .

HOT DAMN!! Alpine Replay logged a speed of 47.1 for one run and Ski Tracks has me at 45+ on another!!!!
Im not 100% sure I believe the 47.1, but since Ski tracx has me in the same speed range on another run, Im gonna claim it anyway!!

Not only hit my goal of cracking 40! I SMASHED IT!!
From 38mph last weekend to 45+ today!!!
WAHOOOO!!!!!

No he has one of the old ones with the bag that had the battery in it.

Where you planning on hitting 60 Dave?

Oh wait, nvm.

I'm gonna try at Crystal. I know I've broken 50 for sure if I got 48.5 at holly lol. I need to just keep my app running.

Unless of course it's slushtastic.

I still think the best spot for speed runs is south peak at cab. I'd like to pay that place a revisit.

Last year we were at Crystal in Mid March and it was the slowest snow I've ever been on. We still had fun though.
