Big mountain day with E yesterday, pushing my comfort zone on some technical bootpacking stuff (read: low-key scrambling in ski boots) and skiing steep couloirs. Found some fantastic snow, I learned a lot and overall had a great day. Grateful for friends that teach me stuff and are willing to be patient with my scaredy cat tendencies 🤣💙

How Many Times Does it Take to Get Good at Skiing?

Are you new to skiing and wondering how long it takes to become proficient on the slopes? Whether you're a beginner or aspiring to improve your skills, mastering the art of skiing is an exciting journey filled with challenges and triumphs. While the answer to the question "How many times does it take to get good at skiing?" varies for each individual, one thing is certain: with dedication, practice, and the right environment, you can progress quickly and enjoyably.

Skiing is a sport that rewards perseverance and persistence. For some, it may only take a handful of lessons to feel comfortable and confident on the snow. Others may require more time and repetition to hone their technique and build their confidence. However, one thing is certain: the more you ski, the better you'll become.

One excellent way to accelerate your progress in skiing is through cat skiing in BC. White Grizzly, located in the stunning wilderness of British Columbia, offers an exceptional cat-skiing experience that can help you take your skiing skills to the next level. With access to pristine backcountry terrain and expert guides to provide instruction and guidance, cat skiing at White Grizzly offers a unique opportunity to improve your skiing ability while exploring some of the most breathtaking landscapes in the world.

Cat skiing allows you to ski in untracked powder snow, providing an exhilarating and challenging experience that can help you develop your skills more rapidly than traditional resort skiing. The varied terrain and snow conditions found in the backcountry offer an excellent learning environment, allowing you to practice and refine your technique in diverse settings.

In addition to cat skiing, taking lessons from certified ski instructors can also significantly accelerate your progress on the slopes. Whether you're a complete beginner or looking to refine your technique, professional instruction can provide valuable feedback and guidance to help you improve more quickly.

Ultimately, the time it takes to get good at skiing depends on a variety of factors, including your natural ability, previous experience, dedication, and the quality of instruction and terrain available to you. However, with dedication, practice, and access to the right resources, you can progress steadily and enjoyably on your skiing journey.

So, whether you're just starting out or seeking to refine your skills, embrace the journey and enjoy the process of becoming a better skier. With the right mindset and opportunities for learning and growth, you'll be carving turns with confidence in no time.

Ski conservatively in the backcountry and ski another day. Avalanche danger is real this spring.

In winter, northern Maine’s mile-high KATAHDIN is a rugged, spectacular world apart. When four friends set out to ski it, the trip represented a physical challenge and a spiritual feat. The photos they brought back offer a glimpse of “The Greatest Mountain” as few ever see it.

Learning to Ski, and Backcountry Ski, in one season

I used to have a soul-crushing job, working in a cubicle where I felt alienated from a cliquey work environment and, having worked in the same position for several years, oftentimes felt bored and depressed. I also did not feel like I had options to change jobs at the time, so I kept running in the hamster wheel. One thing that kept me going was that I would keep a tiny picture of Audrey…

December 12, 2023 - Failed attempt at Burke

After months of trying to get a functional backcountry ski setup that wouldn't bankrupt me (alpine touring gear can be ridiculously expensive), I was finally able to find a used pair of bindings that I mounted on to some old tele skis. I figured Burke would be a nice place to skin up and test out my gear. But I was only thinking about testing them for downhill purposes, and so I decided to go up the hiking trail that loops around the western side of the mountain, and then ski down the trails at the resort

Unfortunately for me, my mind was thinking of skinning as similar to classic nordic skiing, which it is really isn't. One of the things you can do when you're classic touring and you get your ski jamed in under some snow is yank upwards because the binding of a nordic ski is designed to easily pop out - so you'll either get your ski free or get your foot free. And perhaps some pin bindings can work like this, but frame bindings don't, and if you pull that shit, you'll pull out the binding long before you ever pull your boot out

The result was that the second I started to gain any significant elevation, this scenario played out and one of my bindings ripped out. I'm not sure this would have been an issue if I had been a little more careful with the mounting of my bindings, but I wasn't, and I had to pack my ski and binding onto my pack and then awkwardly hike down in my AT boots and scooter some of the flatter sections. Not my best moment, but at least I was able to muster a smile for the photo :P

Solo uphill laps yesterday, downhill day with some fresh snow with Ben today. It's starting to feel like actual training! And the fitness is slooowly coming in. Got some big plans for later in the season and feeling really psyched right now 💙

I’ve been silent for a while - it was a busy but adventure filled Autumn and end of 2023.

Meetup in Porto, followed by an extra week in Spain that culminated in me playing acting like I was in the Vuelta and breaking a thumb in a bike crash. Then it was off to be in my friend Visrut’s wedding and some time with family on the east coast. I spent only 5 days in my own bed in September, exciting and terrifying at the same time.

Seattle autumn was abnormally dry so I got in a lot of biking and hiking in October and November before the long damp dark finally settled in over the PNW.

December resulted in more travel - I was in France for a week again which was a much less planned vacation that was super relaxing and enjoyable, and back home to see family once more.

The new year finds me back in my old haunts, entrenched in my usual ways - skiing and playing in the snow that took way too long to arrive on the Cascades. I’ve already been down to eastern Oregon once this month and will be back in a week for more mountain time.

This seems to have gotten kind of long, but that’s usually what happens when you’re tired and ready to ramble. Nonetheless, I just wanted to say thanks to all my friends, family, coworkers and any other cool people I’m grateful to have met or gotten to do cool things with in 2023. You all are really what it made it great. I hope 2024 is much of the same in that sense. See ya around.
