Skiing in Deer Valley

Gallery

I went skiing for the first time in Deer Valley. Includes a video of the one time Barry fell, but not the 15 times I fell.

    We’ll cut Barry some slack because he fell while skiing & recording video at the same time :D

    Awesome! Next up, snowboarding. :)

      Master skiing first. Snowboarding is a lot less forgiving. And don’t push yourself to do hard courses unless you’re ready. Blue square courses for life!

        I can testify to snowboarding being a PITA. I spent all day trying to do it and either falling backwards onto my butt or falling forward onto my hands wrecking my wrists.

        Get the balance, etc. down of skiing first.

        Yeah, that’s true. Good advice.

    Aaah, good ol’ snow plow technique :)

    Hope you had lots of fun. Skiing is a great activity – very medatative. A word of advice, relax the legs and next time come to Steamboat Springs, Colorado!

    Sweet snowplow :-)

    Matt, falling isn’t really the problem, but getting up is… Looks like you’ll be trying again soon:)

    Before you know it you’ll be doing double black diamonds (and those are so much fun – I miss them) – just remember, always ski in control and you won’t meet any trees the hard way. A strategic fall is better than a crash. A fall in a pile of powder is a barrel of laughs!

    Reminds me my first time skiing … in 1973.

    You’ve got lovely photos there, Sir Matt!

    Hey Matt, Welcome to my neck of the woods!
