SlowPokePete here...

Back into skiing after 20+ year hiatus. Generally a solid intermediate, currently almost 60 years old, first ever ski experience was a an approximate ten year old, went to Gore Mountain as a Boy Scout.

Skied a bit, but admittedly never really got into it....long drives, long lines, etc.

Very active....avid cyclist, kayaks (flat water now, but used to paddle Class III/IV whitewater), outdoorsman, motorcycles (have an "84 BMW R80ST).

I retired from teaching in Ossining after almost 30 years, moved north to Columbia County, and now have Catamount a mere 15 minutes away.

So...rented some gear and went over there last week for a half day.

Picking up all newly purchased gear tomorrow from Steiner Sports ... Nordica Enforcer 94's, Tyrolia Attack 14 bindings, etc.

Hoping to get out at least 4-5 more times this season, and definitely gonna take a ride up and ski Gore one day.

Looking forward to extensive reading and learning.
