It was the FIRST time of downhill at season 2019-2020.
It was the first day of this ski season that lots of people come to the Mont Ripley.
This year, the snow was better than last year, because of the two times winter storms. Almost half of the areas were open to the public.
I still like to sit on the chair lift to the hill, rather than using the T-bar lift.
The most typical route was downhill from the Central Bowl. For the skiing experience, I can feel that my body was very stiff, and I used my knees to resist the force (which is not correct). It is still a long way to go to master the smooth way of downhill.
In addition, there are some basic data to understand the Loop of Central Bowl. The altitude difference is around 120 m from the hill to the bottom. My maximum speed is around 30 km/h. The speed for the chair lift is 8 km/h.
I don't know how many times I can skiing for this season. There are some uncertainties. In addition, I would like to try something about the XC skiing this season, if possible.
I don't expect that I can master or enhance my skiing skill too much. I would rather like to enjoy the moments of staying outdoor in Houghton's winter.
