2008-2009 Ski Season

There might be a little late season sking, because of the freighter adventure.

2007-2008 Ski Season

11/28/2007 Buck Hill opens today, but only the bunny trails are open. Skied Wild Mountain. I've always had a good time there. $30 today. Many runs are open. 30 degrees. Changed from partly-sunny to sunny. On my last run, I skied diagonally toward the parking area. Developed fastest ski separation possible, when I intersected with the tow rope. Just didn't see it. Knew what it was as soon as I felt it. Had a flight deck flashback to arresting cables and was glad nothing was severed. The tow rope is abrasive, so ski pants are trashed. Three snow-boarders standing at the bottom: One said "Dude. I haven't seen anybody do that before." Hope I didn't break any of the tow gear. Got the h out of there quickly and took more Aleve. Ribs have been sore, but much better on Saturday.
3/10/08 Skied at Buck Hill this morning!

Future seasons hold many possible ski adventures!
Now, most of my skiing will be HALF-PRICE!
Next season, maybe South America and all of the western US.
