Swain again

Today I got an 8-hour pass for only $36. Started skiing at 2:30 and stayed until 7:45. I even went to the expert side a bit. Very few skiers and very glad I came early. It's so cold I'm leaving before I wanted. Got A LOT of skiing in. Went down a jump and took a small jump. Didn't fall, but must learn to lean into it.

Back to Swain solo

Temp w/ wind chill = -19. Not so fun because the ground was hard. Wore undershirt, sweater, fleece, & jacket. Fingers & toes got cold. Good thing I had goggles! Wore long underpants under my pumori's. Nice combo. Only skied 2.5 hours. Hope to go somewhere this weekend, too.

Skiing Solo at Swain

Chilly today - high of 26, low of 11. Went to Swain for the first time. I wasn't jazzed about it, but had an awesome time. They were making snow AND it was sprinkling snow. Had to but goggles because the man-made stuff hurt my face & kept me from seeing. Skied for about 4 hours. Lots of pee breaks at first - I wanted to stay hydrated because I have to work tomorrow. Only took 1 hour to get here! I was very tired today and almost didn't go. Very friendly atmosphere as well.
