SKIING!

[kitkate7]

Skiing is all I want to think about, talk about, and do. Unfortunately, no skiing tomorrow--finishing up the Three Mountain Cafe employee manual, then an appointment with the "female doctor" to find out why my vagina hates me and is waging war. (Hey, if you didn't want to know, don't read the blog.) And then I make sandwiches and clean up the deli. I'd rather ski than do all three of these things...but they must be done, so I will do them tomorrow and then, well, not ski on Saturday, because that is the one day a week not covered by my pass. But then I will ski Sunday, and ALL DAY Monday and Tuesday. I do not care that it is supposed to be -17. That's right, negative seventeen degrees. Farenheit. It's okay. I will buy a balaclava, and come in to warm up every couple of runs, and the mountain will be mine...because who wants to be out in that kind of cold?

MRG's groomed the hell--and by hell I mean the moguls that usually pop up even on the beginner trails--out of a lot of the mountain in preparation for a big promotion tomorrow, which means today I pointed my skis downhill and went "Wheeeee!" I am surprised at how much of a better skier I am than I was just two weeks ago. I have a LONG way to go, but I've never experienced such immediate success at an endeavor. I don't have words for it. I am contemplating black diamond trails now. After I prove to myself I can ski the hardest blue square on the mountain, I'm going for the black diamonds.
