“There go those barneys right now with their skiing trip”.
Tonight we head to Colorado with Troy and Elaine for some skiing (and apparently ski mobiles and awesome outlet shopping). Super excited about the trip, it’s been a long time since I’ve been skiing. I decided to quit snowboarding, in favor of skiboarding. Snowboarding is just a bit too difficult and not enjoyable when I go once every two years. 75% of the trip is remembering how in the hell to snowboard and not kill myself. I tried skiboards years ago, and they were by far the easiest (and therefore most fun) things I’ve used on a mountain. So, I sold the snowboard and bought these (except mine are red) on ebay. Don’t have boots, so I’ll probably pick those up in Colorado or rent them and find a pair this summer when the mega sales are on.
Katy has never been skiing and given her back condition, I’m a bit worried about it. She’s competitive as hell and is athletic enough to ski, so I’m not worried that she won’t get it or won’t like it. Really, it’s just the back and her hatred of the cold (though, that’s shared by everybody, except Wade). At first, I thought she might be scared when she sees a decent sized hill, but then I remembered her on the lake in July with Sean and Stephanie. She just wanted to go faster and faster and get knocked around by waves and stuff, so I think she’ll do fine. It’d be awesome if she liked it enough that we could go regularly. I kind of miss skiing.
