Steve and I spent a long weekend at Sugarloaf/USA with our friends the Jason & Nancy Riggs. Jason and Nancy have an apartment in Carrabassett Valley which is only about 10 minutes from the mountain. It's so nice to have a place to stay while we are up there. It takes us a little over 2 hours to get to the valley from our house... we have done the up and back trips several times this year (that's a round trip in a day), but it's so nice to stay when we have several days of skiing planned. We took off Friday and Monday from and made the most of what could be the last weekend of skiing for me.
Nancy and I skied together on Friday and it was AMAZING probably my favorite day so far this year. I actually skied my first black diamond! Please keep in mind it was only because the conditions were ideal (no ice, no bumps and a perfectly groomed trail - and hardly another person on the trail) it was so fun! Nancy is a much better skier than I am now, it was nice of her to take it easy and ski with me.
Saturday was a lot more of the same, although it was the most crowded I have seen it all year. Stacy and I skied together for a couple runs before she had to go to work - I kept up with her! That night I went out to The Widowmaker for the first time in years. We (Steve and I) don't go back up to the mountain once we are done skiing for the day... seems like too much work and I am usually too tired. Cheesy live band, good friends, good drinks - good time!
As fun as it is to be away, it's really good to come home. My cats missed us and I like sleeping in my own bed... cooking in my own kitchen, etc.

I have yet to go skiing, what is wrong with me!!! someday sister. . . someday
I miss skiing. I skied a ton in the winter of 94-95 and haven't skied much since.
How are your ski boots? Were your feet okay this time?
That sounds like so much fun...except for the cold part. I do hate to be cold!! When you are looking for a slightly warmer vacation, you should come back to Vegas!!
