Sunday speed day

After being in Arizona and missing what looked like a couple good storms up at Snowbird, I was kind of anxious to ski again.  The problem was with the warmer temps and how the mountains looked from my house, I knew the powder was going to be crap.  Usually I wouldn't have even gone up to the hill, but because of my little skiing break I decided to bring my racing skis up and see how fast I can go on the groomed with my added mass.  This is pretty much out of character, I usually consider myself the anti-racer, but I actually think I figured out my racing skis ( bought on eBay for $10, lol ).  With the added weight, on the racing skis, I FLY on the groomed.  In 20+ years of skiing I don't think I've ever gone that fast on skis before.  I'm never going to be a racer, but it was kind of fun.  I wouldn't want to do that all the time though, and skiing off trail in deep powder is still MUCH more fun.
