Mount Crested Butte Snowboarding

Such a gorgeous and fun day!

I was waiting at the hot tub at 7:00 a.m. when it opened. Soaked for nearly an hour, then crushed some protein oatmeal and egg whites. Had a couple gels and a protein bar in my pocket for the morning ride. Had a sandwich and soup for lunch. Couldn’t resist an ice cream cone after riding was complete.

I think today was probably the most comfortable I’ve ever been on the slopes. I’ve been riding for 20 years and have always felt limited to my stopping power. My legs felt so good today, I really flowed well with the mountain.

15 runs, descended over 18,600 ft, with speeds over 35 mph; and I was cool, calm, and collected the entire time. Slow deep breaths on those long 3,000 ft. descents felt incredible!

I’m back in the Normatec pants now; then dinner!
