Just a full load!! I usually go to work on Wed after class at 10:00, but this Wed I have Tower Rescue Training, and won't be back in time. I also go in all day Friday, except this week, and last, I have Industrial Safety Training all day,,, Tuesdays are the worst!! I have class from 8:00-7:00 with only one hour break all day!!! My butt gets so sore!! How can you get so tired when you've sat on your butt and done nothing all day, I don't get!!! But, I'm counting down to the last days!! And it'll be over and out!!!

Of course you do! Each to their own, I say. I still ski on two boards out of habit. But just in the last fifteen years, there are as many boarders as skiers and getting to be more all the time.

I'm still learning, I've only been skiing for 23 years. I got a late start. At first I wanted to do flips and all that freestyle stuff, but then I accidently got old and now it takes a long time to recover from the crashes. So now I'm just a cruiser... no more double diamond runs and NO more skull and crossbones runs. Hate pain.

(This is hard, having kids AND grandchildren to worry about!)

I know what you mean... that pain thing again! Sux... double sux sometimes.
But it's so nice when you get into the groove just carving some big esses down the mountain. It can really put you in the zone!

I've only gone out twice in the past three years, so I am still new to the whole thing.. I still fall down a lot and the last time I went, I found hard pack and ice.. It will be nice when I can go down the mountain without falling!!

Yeah, just go out when the snow is nice and set your own pace that you can control. You will learn, just practice and don't push yourself too fast.

OK, I'm crashing for the night. Cheers everyone!
