1st run after skinning up

[hooli]

Always turns into a gong show. After the skin up and using different muscle groups the first run or portion of always results in some poor form, shitty tracks and general mockery from the touring partners. Any one experience this and do you have any tips, stretching suggestions?

Nah, if I go 'shitshow' it's all-day long. yesterday I lost two ski pole baskets and fogged up two pairs of googles.

Usually my first skin is slower than my second because once I get a taste for ze pow, I'm amped and can't wait to get back for more.

Slower partners or get in better shape.

Hydrate, and eat something before you head down.

And make sure those boots are in ski mode.
