ski like a girl- why am I smiling?

One dislocated shoulder
Three weeks of no skiing or swimming
Six weeks of rehab
but get me in front of a camera and I smile!



Why??????



Oh snowboarder why did you have to crash into me? Why did my arm go one direction and my body go another? Why did my other arm swing around and connect with your nose? (Wait I know the answer to that one!)


Still smiling and skiing in my head.
xoxo, ski girl

ski like a girl and CW-X 3/4 Insulator Stabilyx® Tights

I Like:

3/4 Insulator Stabilyx® Tights by CW-X

I haven't worn the 3/4 length yet but I just ordered them from Zappos.com and I'm very excited to try them out on the slopes. Santa gave me the longer version for Christmas and I love them.Warmth, support, and you look like a super hero when you walk around the lodge sans ski pants. Who could ask for more?

This is me in my new CW-X!

My only concern was that the ankles were so tight (supportive) that I couldn't roll them up my calves to get them out of my ski boot. I'm a firm believer in socks only in the ski boot. But I did ski all day with these in my boot and had no problems. I thought I'd try the 3/4 length for another option.

Here is the CW-X description:

Your knees take a beating when you clip into alpine or telemark skis, or when you’re out for a winter run. The CW-X Women’s Insulator Stabilyx ¾-Tight stabilizes your knees and reduces vibration.

• Support Web uses panels to mimic kineseo taping techniques, so muscles and ligaments band together to support your knee joint, lower abdominals, hip, and back
• Compression fit minimizes lactic acid build-up for long workouts and quick recovery
• Flat drawcord at waist won’t interfere with your snow or rain-shell pants

Bottom Line: Knee, hip, and back support.

I'm loving them. I'll let you know what I think of the shorter 3/4 length.
