Ski down, ski up - loving the snow


What a fantastic ski weekend at Bretton Woods New Hampshire. The ski condition were the best I've seen and years. And get this, they weren't that busy on Saturday. I was expecting horribly long lines and they weren't. (Not good for the ski area.) Of course down hill skiing is quite expensive. even with a discount the lift ticket was $64.

My nephew and his wife Heidi joined us on the slopes. My husband, Nick, who hurt his legn (pulled a calf muscle/sprain) in December playing squash, didn't get to ski. Isn't he a sweety.



XC SKIING


Beautiful view on the XC Ski slopes of Bretton Woods

While chatting with my sister on the phone, I paused to take a photo of the hill I had come down - The Tunnel - A black diamond and the only time I can do black diamonds is when XC skiing!


The part of the hill that I still needed to ski - can you even tell it's a hill?

Hi, Lisa. Returning your visit from Cat in the Buff.

Nice pictures. I see scenes like that and regret my aversion to outdoor activity in the winter. (I'm a horrible Minnesotan.)

Take care.

Hi Bevie
Thanks for visiting.
I so enjoyed Cat in the Buff that I signed up to follow it and added to my bloglist!

I also posted my enjoyment of your blog on SpyScribbler
I noticed she signed up to follow it too. She's so sweet.

What does Firestarter have to say about your using some random cat as an avatar.

I finally decided to use my babies in my avatar after seeing Writer and the White Cat avatar.
(I had one avatar that had all 4 of them, but with 3 black, and one striped, you couldn't see much. The current avatar has Scarlett. )

Yes, she is. I've been visiting her blog for about a week now. Found it through LaughingWolf, if I remember right.

The avatar came first. Firestar's blog is less than a month old. I considered changing it to a Snowshoe Cat.

I'll have to visit Writer and the White Cat now.

Thanks.
