The ski season officially got started today, and all my muscles are now very aware that it is winter.
Alta was beautiful, but chilly today. Since I was pregnant last winter, I really only skied a few times last year so I was pretty sure that it would take me some time to get back up to speed. But, the excitement kind of took over, and my skis seemed to remember what to do. When the Bear began skiing at age four, we got her a helmet. Now that she is seven and a full fledged Alta-holic, she was pretty aware that the MOD and I were being bad parents and not wearing helmes ourselves. So, all for the purpose of setting a good example for her, we started wearing them too. Sometimes all that good parenting stuff is just a lot of maintenance. Anyway, helmet and all, it was a great skiing day.
Sundays this winter can’t get much better: skiing during the day, football in the evening. I hope that, if I get to go, heaven will be this great.
