Finally, Skiing


Today was my first day on the hill. We had a dusting of new snow, but not any significant snowfall. I considered not going. My friend Hillary said, "It's way too early in your career to become a snow snob. Go skiing tomorrow."

She was right. The dusting on top of a really nicely set base made for a fantastic day of skiing. Not to mention the mid-20s temps, lack of wind, and brilliant blue sunny skies. Nice day. I've remembered why I made such an effort to do this the past couple years. Time to relight the fire.

The pic above is from the webcam at the top of the Pine Creek chair, where my friend Derek and I spent the whole morning. Anyone up for a ski vacation? I know of some cheap lodging in Boise. With a hot tub...
