my ski day
By Sunday I was totally sick with a sinus infection. I could hardly breath. It was no fun. At least the rest of me did not feel bad. Monday (yesterday) I started taking medicine and rested in the lodge with Todd and my mom while the others went skiing.
I went snowboarding for a half a day during the winter Olympics in 2002. But other than that it has been over 10 years since I skied/snowboarded. So I was so determined to go skiing today even if I was sick. I went skiing with my dad, while Daniel stayed home to work. I had a great time. I bought all the right gear, so I was not cold at all despite the blizzard.
The visibility was only 3 chairs in front of us on the lift. The mountain was covered with think new powder. Evey time my dad and I tried to make a smart decision, we got into more trouble.
At one point we were tree skiing-- meaning we were lost in the trees with no people in sight making our own ski tracks. I was sure we were not too lost. It was only really bad when my dad ran into a tree and lost his ski. We found it and continued.
Twice a young skier came whizzing by to let us know we were still near the ski runs! Anyway, we eventually side stepped up a mountain and back onto a run!!
We were exhausted, so we went back to the lodge to share our adventure and get some food.
After two long days of skiing, Sam opted for playing with his race cars (which went with him to ski school) in the lodge instead of going down the slopes one more time.
