Blasting Powder

Today i spent the afternoon downhill skiing at Searchmont Resort. It was fun... I almost didn't go because the roads were really bad and it was storming outside. However, I made it and had great fun going down the slopes with the snow blasting in my face. I would say that I am an intermediate skiier, however I have not skiied in the last 5 years so I am definitely having to slow down, practise my turning skills & work on not panicking when I start going too fast. Believe me, this is strange since I used to feel so confident in my skiing that I was a little speed demon! Anyway, I hope to get better by the end of the season and then maybe I'll buy a new pair of skiis too. The ones I have now are probably about 15 years old (i was thinking about it today on the lift)... so I should probably spring for a new pair when they go on clearance. Here's to winter & all the new fallen snow!!!
