This Year’s Improvements
With two weekends left in the season, this writer is both reluctant and eager to hang up the sticks for a few months. While a tear or two may fall when my 1080’s are banished to the basement to collect dust until next November, I’ll happily wipe them away as I exhume my golf clubs from their winter resting place.

The last time I was up, I dropped some cliffs and assaulted my quads on bump runs all day long. This test of strength was enough to let me know that, despite the fact I’ve been skiing for nigh 20 years, there is always room for improvement.
