Had a great year skiing with my newfound ski buddies. Barb has taken up x country skiing with me and we spent many a day downhilling and then hitting the x country trails afterwards. What a great group of new found friends. I used to go up and ski by myself because Ruch has had to give it up . All the girls have lockers so we meet in the locker room and head up the nice warm condola. I got a new pair of powder skis and have absolutely loved skiing powder. In fact, our last week before it closed - we had two fabulous powder days. The season lasted and there is still plenty of snow in them there mountains.
