Ski Day Three

 Rob and I headed to Mt Spokane for another great day of skiing. The skies were clear and blue and the snow was great. It started out kind of hard but loosened up quickly to give us some great pre-spring skiing.

We did 9 runs in the morning and another four after lunch for a total of 13.

That’s a good day in my book!

Dermatology Update

My little rash that I had frozen a few weeks ago is getting better. I've been pretty good over the last couple of weeks about keeping it covered. That has made a big difference in the healing process.

It probably doesn't help that I'm old and therefore, slow healing.

I was going to take a picture but it isn't really anything worth looking at. I consider this matter closed.

That means I'm moving on to all the other ailments I'm dealing with.

Ski Day Deux

7:45 AM: I am just getting ready for my second ski day of the season. It looks to be a nice, clear day. Here’s a shot from the Mt Spokane Webcam.

One of my criteria for skiing now is “No Fog”. So today meets that requirement.

However, I’m a little worried about the temperature. The mountains thermometer looks like it says 10°. It’s supposed to warm up to 25° by mid day, so we’ll see how we do.

I’m properly equipped with all my cold weather gear and accoutrements, so I think I’ll be okay. I shall update you in the next paragraph.

4:39PM: Well, it was certainly cold up on the ol’ mountain today but it didn’t stop us from having a great day. I got in 9 runs for $40.00 which works out to about $4.45 a run. That’s cheap entertainment in my book.

It was kind of tough skiing because of the cold. The wind on your face would give you an ice cream headache. But it was such a beautiful, sunny day, it took the sting away from the headache.

Overall, I’m thrilled with the day and now I’m going to take a nap!
