2/23/11 BooHoo

I wondered why I would think the skiing would be any different today since we haven't had any new snow really and the temperatures are still not above freezing.   When I was going down my first run on Super Star I really wondered what I was thinking.  It's still the same sheet of worn out ice.  Can ice be worn out?  Whatever it is it sucks.  Its even worse because it's a vacation week and every bozo is out there skiing/boarding the pipe at Bear.  Don't go there.  Just picture this: ice and bozo's going at warp speed.  For the cherry on top, THEY CAN'T SKI!

I still had a good time because it was sunny and I was getting exercise on my tele's.  I'll say it once again and it won't be my last time: any day on skis is better than a day working!  My sisters are coming up this weekend.  We're getting snow and it's going to be warm.  I promise.  I don't tell fibs.  You are going to love it.  (I'm going to have to block their access to this blog. )  Mary, Quite Contrary,  isn't' coming up.  Something about a threat of divorce because she's away too much.  How does skiing count?  That's just not right.  Wave a white flag then do a flanking action that's what I say!  A Frenchman should understand that.
