Heheh... oh, no worries, I'm TOTALLY looking forward to the visitation rights.Originally Posted by Kano
I figure, I'm taking care of HIS house while he's living it up and skiing (a house that I just moved into with him a month or so ago) so that means I deserve star treatment. Heh. Well, I'll probably be doing several weekends, but he's already commited to buying me a plane ticket out for Christmas. Now the biggest decision I have is whether I want to go to Vail or Telluride for Christmas... oh, tough decisions when you're used to skiing on PA ice!

Kimmy -- no decisions needed. You said he lives close to both? So go to both! Originally Posted by Kimmyt

The hard part is going to be what to wear! You can't wear PA ice clothes to ski on the Colorado snow, right? And you can't start thinking about that too soon....

Skate skiing.
I think I'm gonna bag the tele skiing this year (for the most part anyhow) and just skate. It is fabulous cross training for cycling. You will get buns of steel if you skate a lot! And you get a great workout in a short period of time.
And and and and and...it's quiet, and you can let your mind wander, and other folks out skating always say hi, and you always talk about how far you went in kilometers, so it sounds really far to those of us used to measuring distance in miles!
Unlike Bron, I do not own a race suit and my poles aren't really all that stiff. I do have a water bottle belt, though!

I have always always ALWAYS wanted to learn to telemark. There is something about watching a good teleskiier that is like watching a ballet... so beautiful and rhythmic. It's on my list for future things to try once I get better at the regular DH skiing!
