Wheeeeeeeeee!

Dawn, Caitlin, Luis, and I went skiing tonight at Greek Peak Ski Resort in Cortland, NY. It was SO MUCH FUN. I had forgotten how peaceful it is when you’re at the top of a mountain, flying on the lift or speeding down the isolated alpine trail. God, it’s great isn’t it? I bet I could do that every night and not get bored. It was surprising that none of us got seriously injured–we were definitely expecting that someone would end up at the hospital since Dawn and I haven’t skiied in about four years and Luis (who is from the Dominican Republic) has never been! Dawn took a couple of good tumbles (per run) ;-), Caitlin fell once. She claims it was Luis’ fault–she turned around to watch him fall–and tripped over her own skiis. And I fell once when we were standing still at the bottom of the hill talking (so talented). The ski lodge was in pretty rough shape–the kitchen was disgusting–but they did have a live fire in the lounging area, which was a major perk! Aren’t fireplaces great? The smell of wood burning is so comforting I feel.
