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?

Where I'm going, coming from and where I am.

Lovely day in New England so I set off to ski in the Wildlife Refuge across the river from where I live.

Here's where I'm standing in the snow, my skis beneath

The tracks I made behind me in the freshly fallen snow.

And where I'm headed, new tracks over the old tracks now buried beneath freshly fallen snow.

Moments like this, fluffy white stuff falling around me, make it wonderful to be alive.
