first ski day

After some early season snowfall Solitude Mountain Resort opened last Friday, so Mark & I decided to use our Thursday's season pass to "stretch our legs" and see if we remembered how to glide down the white stuff. People have told me it's "like riding a bicycle" but I wasn't convinced that since I hadn't learned to do it when I was 5, that I wouldn't have lost some of the skill I had only so recently learned. We were both pleasantly surprised that we did seem to remember most of the technique (me skiing, Mark snowboarding). Although, I have to say that the fitness level needs a little work. My legs were rather wobbly after 3 hours!
