You carve onto the egress, about to fist bump your mate (maybe it’s a pole tap) and you come full-stop to a stop. Your hamstrings get a tug. There’s maybe a nerve twinge. You’ve hit warm and wet snow.
Your skin glue for the skinny skis, which have been stored kindly since late last spring, is littered with detritus.
You’re out and about, ascending under a high-ish morning sun on wettish snow. You daydream a bit about the PNW volcano you’re ascending and suddenly find yourself under shady trees on cooler snow. The skins glop. Your progress stops.
If your response is A, B, C, or all three scenarios, it’s time for some TLC for your riding tools and/or skins.
