Hi Wendy & everyone!
Wendy :: love the new avatar! Too, too cute with those little dimples. Can't believe how big Joey is getting...great mish-mosh of a workout.
I have to just jump in from this point on. I'm going to cut & paste the trip report I posted over at the cheetahs. Forgive my laziness:
Well, Killington was STELLAR. They've had 200+ inches of snowfall this year, so it's been a great season. And the foot of snow dumped on them last week made for ideal conditions this weekend. It was, I think, the best I've ever skied. I am LOVIN' my new skis!!! And I do believe the ski-specific training I've been doing on the BOSU has helped.
It wound up snowing all morning Saturday, dropping another 6-8 inches or so, so it was a great opportunity for me to learn powder skiing. It was more work but still fun. The snow stopped around 12-1, and after we left the slopes about mid-afternoon, we returned to the hotel to get cleaned up and head out to dinner. Just as we were about the leave the restaurant, an unexpected storm blew through, creating whiteout conditions. All the folks who were coming down off the mountain at that point (it was after 4 pm when the lifts close) were caught in traffic; some even pulled over to get out of the mess. So, what could we do? We had no choice but to stay there at the bar until the storm slowed down. Second time in my life I've been caught in a bar in a snowstorm, and well, it's just FUN. Need I explain that to my Cabber girls? I think not! *lol* Anywho, I just love snow! *ducks the object Angie just threw at me* :7
My sister (who's never been to VT and just learned to ski this season) did really well. We even got her to try a couple of easy blues (Wendy, blues = intermediate trails.) Overall, it was a perfect ski weekend. I didn't think about school or National Boards, and it was *just* what I needed.
Today begins a new rotation, with Mondays once again planned as rest days. Fine by me. It was a busy day back to work today and I will most likely go for the early zzz's. I have plenty of work to dive into, but I'm choosing not to.
