Skiing

I went skiing on Saturday. I had gone skiing once before, but it was 12 years ago, and the mountains in Wisconsin are a bit on the small side, so this was effectively my first ski trip.

I had a blast, but I have two new rules:
1. Get enough sleep the night before
and
2. Don't believe your friends when they tell you that you'll be fine on that slope that goes all the way to the top of the mountain. "You made it down that other blue trail just fine, you can do this one, just be sure to go down the blue trails instead of the black diamonds. Oh, and avoid the jumps, half pipes, icy patches, snowboarders, and don't forget to make wide turns on the near vertical surface. Oh, and the snow's all slushy now so you'll have to turn harder"

On the bright side I got lots of practice learning to stand up after I'd fallen down.
