On Friday, I went skiing for the first time in 6 years. My sister Nettie got some discounted passes at Christmas time and I was disappointed that I would not be able to go with her but when the baby came early, I realized that now I could go. Andrew said he would be more then willing to watch the baby all day and night (I had a work conference afterwards until 10 p.m.). Well, Thursday night we had an awesome snow storm. So when I went out to my car and saw snow on it I got a little nervous about how the day would go.
I know that most people love fresh powder but now I was not only worried about skiing but also about the road conditions. Nettie, Roman, and I met up at the ski rental shop. We got on the slopes a little late and I made the mistake of going on a blue run first. There was at least a good foot and a half of fresh powder. Well, very quickly I discovered that I was a wuss but as Nettie would say a VERY funny wuss. I was a little bit hesitant to go the whole time but when I actually hit the slopes I realized that I was in no shape for skiing and that I am no longer the dare devil that I was in my younger years. Even though I was a wuss I had a fantastic time and look forward to doing it again sometime.
