Went skiing at Whistler BC this past week. It was a great four days of skiing and wiped out a couple of times with each time just popping back up unlike 2 years ago. A couple of times I almost wiped out on the icy parts but managed to recover. When I thought about it I wouldn't have been able to do that two years ago. But my overall strength, balance and even core strength is so much greater I was simply able to right myself at speed. Ya gotta love strength.
