my work sponsored a ski day at eldora about a week ago. up until this season i had the season pass there. it was where i learned, but i've since had the desire for more quality/quantity of terrain. anyway, i rode alone and did all the stuff i was never good enough to do before (the double blacks, tree runs, etc.) it was a weekday so no one was there. i was the first person to the back side of the mountain and i stopped for a nice little personal safety meeting in the trees and basically enjoyed the hell out of myself. felt like i was the only person on the mountain for the first couple hours. i used to do that all the time and i kind of miss it. on the other hand though, i like going with people who are better than me so i can push my limits. sometimes, though, it is really relaxing to go alone and not worry about what other people want to do, especially on an empty mountain.

hey have you ever been to Blue Mountain? i know its in Ontario i think. I heard its a really nice place with long runs.

Ontario's a big place

I've heard of it, down around Toronto/Niagra Escarpment isn't it?

That's about a 6 hour drive for me and 6 hours driving puts Stowe, Jay Peak, Killington, Lake Placid, Mont Blanc, Le Massif, etc., etc. in easy reach.

Unfortunately, it doesn't put the Rockies in range

im super nervous to actually go out riding alone for the first time, i'm also fairly new and want to start attempting boxes/rails, im just nervous about hurting myself and not being able to drive home. I know once i suck it up and do it, i'll be fine, but for now it's really hard on the self esteem to try and do it ;p

I rode alone this entire season... (none of my friends really board) wish I had made the East Coast Meet, but it was too risky for me. At first I thought it wouldn't be much different since I considered it a solo sport, but it's a lot of fun being with friends and for me it pushes me harder to ride with someone with equal or better ability. I rode Mt. Creek mostly, which is a good 1.5 hours from me and a few times over a few places in PA, which is around 2 hours for me. Music helps. On the last day (this past wednesday), I went to Big Boulder where everything was washed out and the only park features available were too difficult for me so I spent a few hours learning to ride switch, which I managed quite well. Wouldn't have had the chance if I spent the day keeping up with friends... but it's a bummer when you land a trick for the first time and can't really discuss it with anyone or you know, get into that hype.

In the end, it's a compromise. I wouldn't do anything over 2 hours solo, which is pretty much why the season's over for me. Fuck global warming.

i never wanted to ride alone when i first started.. but after i got better i would sometimes separate from my group...like if they wanted to go rest and i was still wantin to ride. its actually more fun.. you can go as fast as you want and not have to wait for them (if they are slower than you that is).
