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.
Byronm,
Truth be told, many who post here would agree that 2 hard days on snow can take all their body has to give. In my 7 days, many were closer to half days and my day with John Botti was a short half day (in part because of becoming chilled from falls in powder and getting snow inside my clothing). Last year skiing with one of Josh's Level 3 instructor Stowe buddies, my legs got destroyed in 3 runs. It was back in the gym today, I'll ski tomorrow. I'm looking forward to seeing if all the conditioning work last week pays off at my home mountain.
My roadbiking experience with a heart monitor tells me that 3 days on, 1 day of rest is a great formula. Like Svend stated, when we go on vacation, skiing each day is automatic. Only dense fog has ever kept me in a lodge.
My knees also took a beating from the use of wider skis, narrow is the word for tomorrow.
