Zap's Thoughts on Skiing after a Stroke & Seizure

It is rare to happen upon those whose spirit is undaunted, undiminished and a light to all. Here's to a great winter and the hope that my path may cross yours on some snowy day.

Zap you are a real ski hero!
Way to keep after it and I can live vicariously through your reports.
You and Jill just have a heck of a good time... may the wind be at you backs and the powder light!

Zap/Jill - Let's do some "Geezer Tours" together this winter!!

The report is just great Zap. Your determination and spirit are surely contributing to the success. I am getting back on the hills again after a mild stroke in May so indeed, we share a challenge. Later timing and getting my weight transfers right seem to be the areas of work for me but I'm getting out and skiing is the therapy. I'm suspecting in the (re-learning) process that motion interpretation, muscular response, get sorta programmed into the brain and when everything's working, these actions don't need much input to function. What used to be instinctive, drives more thought. Deeper snow is definitely trickier than it used to be because of this in my opinion. I'm really pleased to hear your news and keep em sliding! And if getting into form again means finding ourselves skiing un-tracked powder, bring it on.

Yes Indeed Zap, both you and Jill are inspiring!  And to find the fun, beauty and adventure in learning to ski again ....... not many of us will get the chance to go around again!!  Have a fantastic winter adventure, as always!
