Some of you know I've spent the last year taking up a just about every sport that crosses my path. First there was tennis. Then the company volleyball team, ice skating lessons, hockey, and now Skiing. I'm sure no one is surprised that when I'm not in design mode at work my cubicle white-board often features some horrible and crazy sketch of my recent exploits. While I was away in Colorado learning to ski my coworkers took over the white board. Something tells me they weren't sure I'd make it back to see their handy-work.
For the record, I did part of a run infested with large pine trees (
Frenchman). And no, I didn't run into a single tree. (Note, my coworkers drew what appears to be a deciduous tree full of leaves in the middle of the ski run. When is the last time you saw a snow covered mountain with leaving deciduous trees?) The only battle injury I have to show for the trip is a black bruised that is remarkably shaped like the boot latch on my rental skis. The truely bored can check out the
trail map. I skied
Schoolmarm,
Toads,
Silver Spoon,
Last Chance,
Incubator,
Ina's Way,
Jack Straw,
Bear Tree,
Spring Dipper,
Dercum's Dash and the upper part of
Frenchman.
I do have pictures of me dressed in a friend's funny spiky ski hat. I'll post them in the next few days.
