Ski Day #3

We held off skiing last week because the temperatures were sub zero. No thanks to that!

So we made it up today. Rob brought his daughters Tamany and Natalie, both are visiting for Christmas.

I observed on the website that it was pretty foggy at the lodge and that was the case when we got up there. Rob and I took a run to the top while the girls went through the line at the rental shop. They took almost two hours.

Our first run was disastrous. The fog was so thick you could not see the terrain in front of you. You just had to ski along and hope it was flat. I fell twice.

We took the next several runs on the beginner lift because you could see.

When Rob's daughters finally made it out, we headed for Chair Five (the beginner chair) and then over to Chair Three. We were hoping to ski back to Chair Four. When there is fog on the hill, Four is usually clear. And it was today.

I had fall number four and the Number Four Face. It was another one of those situations where I wore myself out just getting back up.

You might be wondering about fall number three. That occurred on Chair Five when Tam and I were loading. I'm not really clear on what happened, but I guess a lift operator was riding down and kind of stumbled when he got off. That caused the chair to swing waaaaay around and then hit me. Knocked me right on my ass.

I'm okay and I don't feel like I got any bruises from the incident. I didn't really even know what happened until Rob told me on the next lift ride.

We got in eight runs before I gave out. Rob took the girls to Chair Six and did a couple of runs there.

My cost per run for the season so far is at $15.21 as of today.

Now, it is time for bed. I am really beat!
