Oh-oh! It's been to long since Rob showed me how to do this and I don't remember. Maybe it will post...I hope.
Last week, I used the rest of my saved up ski money and went skiing twice! Targhee had a two for one special on Tuesdays in Feb. and the first 2 Tuesdays in March. So I found a friend to go with me and we went skiing at Targhee. I realize I get a little freaked out on steep slopes and do a lot of traversing. It makes for a long run. Although my friend (Nancy J.) hadn't been skiing for ten years, she had to wait for me a lot. But we had a great time and the day was nice. The sun even came out a few times. Then on Friday, I went to Kelly Canyon for one last time this season. They closed Sunday. What a shame, too...they still have really good snow and a lot of it...an anomaly for Kelly. It was a beautiful day and the sun came out quite a bit. Funny thing, it was sunny skies everywhere except up Kelly Canyon. The clouds kind of got stuck on the mountains.
Kelly had about 3-4" of new snow and it was nice skiing. But my first run down, I realized that it had not been a long enough time since the day at Targhee for my legs to fully recuperate...ouch!
Sandy, Shawn and Jeff took Andrew up to teach him how to ski. Six-year-olds look very tiny on the hill. Andrew did well for the first time. He could snowplow in control and could make turns when someone hollered at him to turn. He like going straight down the hill and the fact that his rental skiis had "fire" on them. The last run of the day, I was skiing by Sandy as she was with Andrew and Grandpa Jeff came along. Andrew started following Jeff and Sandy and I assumed all was well. Only problem was that Jeff didn't know Andrew was behind him and Jeff was going fast down the mountain. When Sandy and I came over the hill, there was Andrew, facedown in the snow with his skiis torn off further up the hill. Shawn was helping him as we got there. Andrew was crying,"Grandpa was going too fast! "
It has been fun skiing this year because we've actually had some snow. It's too long of winter here not to get out and do something in the snow. Although the Prius is the pits on slick winter roads, it makes it up to Kelly Canyon just fine so I guess we'll keep it a while longer, especially with gas prices going up and up.

Lucky. I want to go skiing again one day. I HAVE gone this year, but only because it was part of a class I was taking.
Welcome to the world of blogging. I haven't been skiing in ages, it sounds like a blast.

Hooray!! I am glad you are blogging! I think it truly has been nearly twenty years since I went skiing. I am pretty rusty! Sounds like it was really fun and pretty!
