These conditions were counted among our many blessings this holiday.
Great snow, great friends and too much turkey.........S'all good!
Nice skiing Trish and a great way to spend T'day!
I've been waiting for you and Phil to be on skis prior to asking this question. Is breathing while skiing at altitude much less demanding now that you have lived at altitude for an extended period? As someone who lives at sea-level, altitude on western trips is a PITA as ya just have to live with much less oxygen for a week. Perhaps you need to come back to Stowe to really appreciate the difference.
First and foremost, breathing while skiing at Tahoe is much easier than at A-basin, but still it took some time for me to get used to it when I first got out here, hiking, biking and the usual stuff.
Still, I am not as "out of breath" as I was when I got here, and I'm mosdef not as out of breath as I have been when I ski A-basin, Aspen, or Vail. ?Tahoe is a much easier elevation to adapt to.
If altitude is a problem for you, there are some great products out there that make a huge difference, both natural remedies and medical options. I hear that the best thing known to be a cure for altitude sickness is
****(seriously) because it increases the oxygen in the blood flow.
But if you use that, and fall, you may have a whole new set of problems.
