Some Skiing Fun

We have been doing our best to fit in a couple of ski days over this Christmas break. When we couldn't make it happen during the day, Shawn and I decided to make a date night out of it. I'd never been night skiing before, but I really liked it. There were no crowds. We could find runs with almost no one else on them, and the cold (which I was most worried about) wasn't that bad either. This is definitely a repeat activity - for date night or with the older kids. (There's still that bedtime thing to work with with the younger ones.) More snow would be nice though. A few of those runs are still a little rough on the skis.Shawn also managed to get up to Snowbird to ski with our friend, George. (I got to stay home with our continually sick children. It's been a rough break as far as that goes.) It was a beautiful ski day, and started out well....

...but unfortunately ended like this.

Not to worry, though. It wasn't a torn meniscus as we feared. Just a strain that should heal in not too long with a bit of physical therapy. Poor George. Every time he skis with Shawn something happens to cut the day short. Last time it was a broken binding on Shawn's ski, and this time, a knee injury (also on Shawn.) Here's to more snow and more skiing!
