Tuesday, January 31, 2023. On vacation, I quickly forget the date and day of the week - maybe you know that too 😅
Our day started as usual: get up at 7 a.m., have breakfast, get ready, and off to the mountain. The goal for today was clear: build on the good first day 👍
With the momentum from yesterday and new knowledge from YouTube, we tackled the slopes from yesterday again. We were doing well and were able to successfully tackle a red category downhill run. We also took one of the many lifts to another part of the mountains and found great slopes there as well. My new impressions included the snow and the lighting conditions. It had snowed in the evening and during the night, so the slopes were softer and somewhat more controllable in the morning - but due to the many runs, tracks and bumps also formed that had to be taken into account. Not so easy, because first the sun brought challenging light-shadow changes to the track, and then without the sun, the contours of the slopes were harder to see. Maybe a good pair of ski goggles can help 🧐
Of course, not everything went smoothly either. I can already feel a bit of muscle soreness from riding and especially from constantly standing up after strapping on the board or after falls. And the midday phenomenon hit hard today. Right after eating, I wasn't quite up to par yet and crashed a bit more forcefully while going downhill. A stupid, avoidable mistake 🙄
At the evening sauna session, it was time to nurse my wounds and start the regeneration for the last day of snowboarding 😊
It's also nice that I've already discovered some new social games 🤓#themind #codenames
