First ski of the year!

We've had 2 snow storms in the past 2 weeks and one more on the way. Tomorrow is Eric's Friday off and we're hitting the slopes! We can't wait to ski on all this new snow! And it's $20 cheaper-woohoo!

The largest Indoor skiing centre in the world. I had never done it before, so at first I was a bit shakey in the knees (what a slope!), I didn't take any lessons, but just hired a suit, some boots and a pair of skis. After a bit of practising and imitating one of my friends (who goes on a wintersport holiday every year) I managed to make reasonable turns and brakes :)
oh, and it is a lot more fun if you do the après-skiing in between :D (a round of skiing - a round of drinking - a round of skiing... etc); ▶ Reply to This

This is unusual for our island which is normally known for rainy winters. Our 4 children 7-13 loved it!
I never got to climb NH's Mt. Washington (the guide called it off due to extreme weather) back when I lived in Quechee Falls,VT,but climbed icy Mt. Lebanon instead-amazing!; ▶ Reply to This
