Stevens.

We have indeed found a use for the snow here! Mind you, the snow is a minimum of an hour outside of the city, so it doesn't affect our day-to-day lives. Since last February, we've been a bit nutty about skiing. This winter, we purchased our own sets of skis and a ski rack for our little mountain car.

Yesterday, we checked out Stevens which was a bit more advanced, but still pretty cool. Stevens is more like skiing on an "actual mountain" as Nathan put it. There are trees dotting the landscape and the trails are a bit more narrow than we're used to. S and Nathan did fine with this, whereas I had a few issues. I came down my first intermediate trail which was interesting. At one point, the hill was a bit too steep for me, so I had to sit on my butt and slide down for a bit. A fairly ridiculous scene overall...

We all did good, though. My shoulders hurt now, but I'd happily go again weekend after weekend if given the chance.

{Also ridiculous--our hats. S wore his little Colts Santa cap since they were playing yesterday.}
