33. Sunday, January 5th, 2025
Welcome back to Noah's Stoic Sunday report today, I freed the heal and took my telemark gear out for the first time this year. ๐ฟ Today marks the end of what I considered our "Christmas/New Year's Week," and we can finally catch a breath and reflect. Last year was riddled with rain, and while we did get a couple of days of wet weather, the snow just kept coming. Today, we had another couple of inches to play around in. ๐
"Nature gives and nature takes away. Anyone with sense and humility will tell her, 'Give and take as you please,' not out of defiance, but out of obedience and goodwill." โ Marcus Aurelius
While Marcus may not have been talking about snow, I think it still applies, as East Coast skiers, we know full well that we are at the mercy of Mother Nature. It's up to us to make the best of what we are giving, and fortunately, right now, we are being given the goods; conditions are great right now, so I hope you are all taking advantage of it! ๐

If you've piled up some vertical this season so far, and I'm sure you have, it's time to bring your skis into The Boot Pro to get them tuned up for the firm, cold snow ahead. ๐งผ If you aren't tuning your skis regularly, you have no idea what you're missing! Once I started tuning my skis every few weeks, I started to feel like a much more confident skier...thanks to having an actual edge. ๐คญ
Your skis will have a spa day at the Wintersteiger Jupiter, a state-of-the-art, fully automated ski service system that has been completely customized and configured to the Boot Pro's standards to get the most precise and consistent edge available. Trust me, your skis will love it. ๐
