Is it possible to have Triathlon legs and Mogul Skiing legs (Page 2)

Nice going. Sounds like you've ramped up your tri training and your skiing will benefit as a result. I've had that lower back pain and it seems to take a few good days of bumps to get the back adjusted.

Have a great ski season!

The last time I skied in Utah I was with a local. We got done a run and at the bottom he says "wow, those were tight trees." I replied with "there were trees on that run?" If you don't have to crouch and cover your head it's not a tree run to an eastern skier. I also love the, aim for a hole and hope there's room to slow down on the other side, model of eastern tree skiing. Helmets were the greatest thing ever for tree skiing. It makes it much easier to bash through the lower hanging stuff and tall shrubbery.

I've been more challenged skiing in the east then anywhere that I have skied in the west. Of course I can't tackle the really big lines because I don't have the back country safety skills to attempt them. But steep and deep is cake compared to steep, icy and little room to maneuver.

I can't wait to get on snow. I've missed the early season because of an injury and a planned operation. Thinking of taking out the skate skis and doing some XC this evening. Gotta get in a day or two of alpine in the next couple weeks because I have a work trip planned to SLC at the end of January. I might make a mistake and book my flight out for Friday evening instead of Monday morning.

i am jealous for all of you that can ski 100+

i used to live in utah so i would be on the slope every chance I had.  personally, only weights seem to do the trick getting ready for ski season.  cycling and running gave me little endurance but i always found different muscles skiing moguls versus running or cycling.
