2/14/11 Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day to all you lovers out there.  I hope everybody is out skiing and not at home wasting time doing it.  Just kidding.  I hope you are at home wasting time.  More room on the mountain for me!

It was a glorious day, 50 degrees and a kind of hero snow.  I tele'd and it was tons of fun. Kim loved it. My alpines would have been fun too because the bumps were soft but I can't do everything at once.  Ok sometimes I can like when I cook breakfast as a short order cook at the Hill House.  Then I can.  Oh yeah, and I can do everything at once when I'm surfing the Internet, drawing blueprints,  playing Scrabble on my IPhone and Skyping Juliana.  Anyway, back to the mountain report:  sunny in Woodstock but the mountain was socked in with a big black cloud.  A kind of day I've really never seen before and that's hard to say since my bday is coming up and I will have been skiing...egads....50 friggen years!!!!  If I was a gay boy I would never admit to that.  Right Bobby?

I tele'd on Friday for two runs.  Why you may ask?  My screw came out of my binding because when I was swapping my bindings around I was in too much of a hurry and not a proper gear head.   So, while I was skiing down I couldn't control my left leg.  I kept on looking down wondering what was going on but I couldn't be bothered to slow down.  If I would have slowed down I would have seen that my binding had almost moved forward on the ski far enough to completely come off.   I could have killed myself.  Ok probably not 'kill' (like going down Corbet's at Jackson Hole) but seriously injured myself.  Be a gear head everyday.  If you can't be a gear head then don't ski that day because you can really screw things up - literally (again like Madonna).

Some of the pictures attached are of our night at Suicide Six Ski Resort on Friday.  Such a cute little place and the lodge is great.  They had a torch night there.  The bar was a jumping,  Later, the Hill House was a jumping when everyone followed us home.  We even had some unexpected overnight guests.  Fun for all and all for fun.

Until then,
