Do i ski? well ha!

· · 🌡️ 53°F

I've been skiing about three times.

Ski trip #1 involved lauren and myself, and our friends Kathi and Kim. Kathi and Lauren being the great skiiers that they are, took off and left me with Kim. Kim is rather awkward and can barely walk without falling over. Somehow Kim and I were left at the bunny slope for two hours while Kathi and Lauren went and played. The damn tow rope seemed to dislocate my shoulder. Kim fell a lot.

Ski trip #2 was the following year. I brought my friend Kat out skiing for her birthday. We both did well and I even made it from the top of the mountain down without falling!

Ski trip #3 involved myself, Lauren and Kathi. the following pictures will tell the tale.
doing great...

    Skiing scares me.

    Once when i was a child I was ill and had a high fever. In a fever dream I saw all these people skiing. One was dressed like a bunny. He looked fun so I went over to him. But when I got close I could see he was made entirely out of sugar cubes. They started melting really fast and out of the syrup was a burnt rabbit face.

    So, skiing scares me.

    It's easy, just point the tips downhill and try not to have a yard sale.

    I'm in! Love skiing, hot chocolate, wine and boardgames.

    I just hope a beginner goes so I don't feel bad ditching @janelle for some advanced slopes

    As I was telling Felly earlier today, my friends from Syracuse and I are planning a trip to Jay Peak in northern Vermont sometime during peak season if anyone is interested. We usually do a few days + at a decent resort and get a chalet that can usually accommodate a large number of people. But that aside even doing a couple days or one day at a local place like Holiday Valley or slightly more east like Bristol MT would be a blast. I think an (e:strip) ski outting would be pretty cool. I guess it just depends on how much money/time everyone wants to invest. One day would be pretty reasonably priced if there were only a small handful of people. But if there was enough interest I am more than willing to pitch in and help set something up for a longer weekend.

    HOORAH! E:STRIP SKI PARTY!

    I guess we should wait till the snow actually hits before we start planning. But a weekend ski trip (come January/February) sounds like good fun!
