You all are ironmen/women compared to me...I just got back from "2" days on and I am toast....I will say....that both days I tried to make a concerted effort to minimize the time in my "lazy" ski position even on run outs. Having fun, but focusing on decent posture as much as possible without making it seem like a job.
 
I am sure, as with other sports, often you exert more, and in most cases waste a certain amount of energy "learning" basics or even striving for another benchmark until you find a groove. Afternoon of day two, I was stopping more often on moderately steep runs to let the burn in quads subside.
 
Lesson learned, I came back to skiing this year sans any real physical prep. Combined with energy wasted as a result of less efficient technique, I am stiff...sore...tire d....after only two days....AND....the whole time I had and still have the biggest damn smile on my face...   How does that work?
