I think it does take a few seasons of experience to find the right balance of appropriate strength and appropriate conditioning volume. I do agree that hunting requires more strength than other mountain sports, but agreeing with almost anyone on the appropriate amount seems to be a matter of...
Snowbowl can catch some serious storms, but it’s just too close to the Phoenix population area to be worth going out of the way for.
Backcountry skiing in N. AZ is the sketchiest of sketchy.
So you’ve been with a girl since you were 16?
You’re about to make a seriously bad decision, young man.
Dump that chic tonight and join the Coast Guard tomorrow.
