I went skiing today. It's been a while due to the pneumonia situation. It was nice but difficult to breath... But hey, I survived right? It was actually pretty fantastic. I only made it about two hours before my lungs began to protest -- a great two hours.

Anyway, I took out the Salomon Shogun today in a 164. Really fun ski, wish I had had more time with it. I was just amazed how well it handled the groomed runs. A few of the rocker skis I have taken out have been less than stable when entering the "slow" zones. I will say I think I still prefer the Phat Luv on less steep terrain. I noticed myself sinking a little more than I would have liked. It could have been the snow conditions; over 4 feet of fresh heavy snow. On the steeper terrain they were fantastic, had I been up for it I would have loved to try some spins, but my body wasn't feeling it.

I would definitely like to give these skis another shot when my lungs are more capable. We are supposed to have a break in snow and then more Monday - Wednesday. Maybe next Thursday will be the day and I can give them a proper review.

In regards to my car, still not fixed and wont be for another 5 days or so. Apparently they stopped FedEx from delivering because of the weather. Because of this, my windshield is still in Bishop. Can't wait to have a car so that I can go grocery shopping. So excited for fresh food.

At some point I'll have pictures of all this madness, I just happened to forget my camera at home and walking back would take far too much effort right now.
