Things to do while falling down a mountain

  1. After landing crazily on your back, punch the offending hillside and yell "Bad Mountain" at the top of your lungs
  2. While in mid-air (after having both ski bindings let go) scream "Yard Sale!". Fall heavily.
  3. Expertly handle the powder-laden moguls. Once clear of the bumpies at the bottom of the run, fall unexpectedly on the straight leading to the lift.
  4. Mis-handle the transition from beautiful corduroy to 12" of powder. Make sure your neck hits the ground before the rest of your body.
  5. Enjoy 20" of fresh powder in 3 days time, relish the company of your wife and brother-in-law, and marvel at the retiree who's skied 75 days this year.

Yes, I either observed or experienced all of the above over the last 4 days.

Actually, I think skiing with Dan would be pretty exciting!!! Just being on the mountain in the fresh air (without all the pollen!) would be absolutely wonderful. Glad you had loads of fun.
