In skiing, 'slop' can refer to a kind of snow pack where lots of rain has fallen on new snow. It looks beautiful and like very good skiing conditions, but is in fact very dangerous and unskiable. Skis sink in and the snow tracks making it easy to tear ligaments or break a leg. 'Slop' can also avalanche very easily.

I haven't been for a while, but I plan on going again this year.
There's loads of films about #skiing, #snowboarding, #running, #climbing, #mountaineering, #surfing, #cycling etc, as well as some workshops about kit #repair and #activism etc.
I'm looking forward to it 🥳
Edit: add picture as their OG is broken

Since the pandemic, we have received an extra day off called a "recharge day" every quarter at Red Hat. Today, I really used it as a recharge day. I went Nordic skiing and am now physically exhausted but mentally recharged. 🌞

Hmm, being chased by wolves seem to be a good way to get a good time in cross country skiing.
(oh wait, it's was just a happy doggie)

Need some help:
i hate strength training. I find it extremely boring.
I do it to prevent injuries and get stronger for running and skiing, but because I find it sooo boring I dont do it enough.
If you are like me, how do you motivate yourself to do it or how did you learn to at least tolerate it?
