:: Wednesday, December 31, 2003 ::

My weekend was spent skiing and freezing my butt off up in Mammoth. It was my first time skiing up in there and I'd forgotten just how magnificent ski conditions can be once you leave the local mountains and go where the real weather is. It also served to remind me that there is indeed life below 40 degrees; something us warm weather dwellers forget.

I went up with some friends from church that I had gotten to know and like over the last year and I had a lot of fun with them even on the days I didn't ski. We spent most of Sunday eating, walking around Mammoth Village, eating, watching videos, and eating. It was just nice to hang out and get reaqcuainted with everyone.

Saturday was ski day though, and I hadn't skied in about two years and I've also never skied in powdery conditions either so it seemed I spent half the day on my butt and the other half on my face. I still had a lot of fun since I'm of the belief that if you don't have yourself a good fall a few times, you're not going hard enough (that I tripped myself up on flat ground a couple of times is another matter). I would have skied on Sunday but my body was just a little to sore.

Well, it's New Year's Eve isn't it? I hope everyone had a good one and I hope everyone has a good one next year. Have a fun and safe New Year's Eve!
