It was an exhausting day for me, and most likely pretty relaxing for Ryan. I have previously been skiing twice, at Beaver, on the bunny-hill. My eyes were totally open to the world of skiing. I have yet to understand how people go quickly down a snow covered mountain without crying out of sheer terror. I for one took my time. One long turn at a time, much to the annoyance of all the other skiers on the hill.
Finally after I was too tired to go on any longer Ryan got 2 hours of good skiing in. He said his favorite run went from the top of the mountain to the bottom in one long path. CRAZY!!! I will never understand it.

I would be right there with you, Crystal! The bunny hill is enough for me. That's fun that you were able to get out and have a day with just the two of you.
Yay! Sounds like a good day to play hooky! Glad you guys had fun :) I see little kids on those black diamond trails zooming straight down and I don't understand, either!
I should have skipped my Boise meetings... we could have done long turns together. But I still haven't forgiven skiing for humiliating me on my 25th birthday.
Anyway, Happy Birthday to Cassia tomorrow... this neglectful aunt bought her a little something something but prefers to wait until I can present it in person.
Happy 1st Birthday to Cassia!!! Did she like our b-day card? Give her lots of hugs from all of us and a kiss from Lily. *Lily loves blowing kisses now :)
Sounds like fun, or it would if I skied! I tried it once and hated it. I just don't like being cold. But yay for y'all getting out and doing it! And I agree with you, one long path from the top to the bottom is crazy!
I can't tell you how happy this post made me! I too have gone skiing (snowboarding) with Wade and I will never do it again! I don't quite understand the joy in such an expensive/dangerous hobby! haha I took my sweet time going down the hills as well...we would be perfect skiing buddies! :) That is, if the hubby's go skiing, then we can just have hot cocoa in the lodge!
I've been cross-country skiing before and I cried out in sheer terror every time there was a descent. It's then that you realize that in cross-country skis you have absolutely no way to steer, so you just look for the softest snowbank to break your fall.
I'm glad Ryan had fun!
And Happy Birthday Cassia!
