So excited: Skiing is finally possible in VT, new skis on the way, Whistler in site

Heading up to Killington this weekend (if you’re going to be in the area, let me know). Got a great deal on and ordered my new Volkl Unlimited AC4 skis (177s) and they will be here next week. Plus I finally locked in my flight for a Whistler trip March 1-6. If anyone is going to be in Whistler at that time, let me know.

It’s actually an odd thing buying skis these days. I started off with 184cm skis when learning, then went to 205cm K2 slalom skis back in college for ski team racing, then went to 187cm Volkl Vectris skis which I’ve had what seems like forever, and now I’m going back to the shortest ever with the 177s. Everyone’s told me to go that route, but we’ll see.

Until they arrive, I just have the pictures to look at in anticipation (click to enlarge):
