Okay. Corn and hot pow are here and days are ever longer—a joy of spring. So why am I so grumpy? I’ve been doing plenty of trailbreaking, but I kind of like it. It feels like community service and keeps me honest. I’ve been getting up early to ski pow, getting a tan in Alaska, lapping to my heart’s content. What then could I possibly complain about?
You. Yeah, you. Okay, well maybe not you, you, but definitely someone. Stop f&@#ing up the skin track!
Trailbreakers put our heart and soul into packing in that deliberate zig-zag. Many of us planning to come up for more than one lap want to keep those corners clean. The sharp switchbacks were perfectly pitched and angled. But you came along and washed out all that work. You cut corners with steep risers and shuffle through corners making them slick rounded waddles. This need not be. I promise the simple art of the kick turn will save you energy and save gumpkins like me grief.
