Bohemia comments, or "ouch"

Not exactly a TR, here - did 2.5 days at Mt. Bohemia over the weekend.
It went as expected; the drive was really long, there were about 4-8"
of new fluff each AM, and liftlines were next to nonextistant. But
what really struck me this time is how much pain that hill inflicts.
At most western hills, a quick hot-tub in the evening and I'm ready to
go the next AM, but one day at Bohemia and I'm ready for a cortisone
bath. We've got a couple of theories-

1) the "no grooming" policy. Coupled with the absence of green runs,
it means that you can never take a turn for granted. On a real
mountain, we'll ski comparable terrain, but it'll be interspersed with
occasional groomers (on the way down to the lodge, or just to get back
to the lift, or whatever) which give a chance to throttle back and get
lazy for a while. At Mt. B, you've got to be on top of your skis for
just about every turn, and it adds up. Even if it's untracked,
there's bumps under there.

2) The low altitude (peak is 1500'). Although it makes things easier
overall, it maybe puts a bigger load on the muscles and joints? Since
the lungs and heart have abundant O2, they can ask a lot more of the
rest of the body.

Still a riotous good time this past weekend. (ouch). Praise Ullr and
pass the ibuprofen.
