Fit-Pic: Talons Challenge

 It may not have been the most ideal of weather conditions but when you're skiing the Talons Challenge among 1,500 skiers and snowboarders, you're thinking more about the powder than a blue bell sky. And with five inches of fresh snow that fell overnight according to the snow report at Beaver Creek, it only provided extra cushioning for the 13 bump runs that needed to be skied from lifts open to lifts close. So many people on the mountain, some fast, some slow traversing the moguls, but we got it done--earned our Talons pins and hats to prove it.

But now it's time to rest. Dodging people and jumping bumps makes for a tiring day.
