Home from Vermont!
I had an awesome time. And, skiing-wise, I am (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
pandaulf will be glad to know) no longer falling down every 10 feet. :-) I had a Level 1 lesson ("Here's how you hold the poles...") on Friday afternoon and a Level 2 lesson Saturday afternoon. This morning, the 3.5 hours I was out (before the 3pm return bus), I spent practicing on my own, solidifying my skills thus far. And, in fact, I didn't fall once today, even getting off the lifts 7 or 8 times. It felt good.
Oh, and the combo of Fluorescent Pink Ski Pants and Fluorescent Orange Scarf was actually a huge hit. Pix to come, maybe soon.
Sidebar: There are basically three mountains at Smuggler's Notch. The one I spent all my time on (that is, the smallest of them)? Morse Mountain. The only (inadequate) response that comes to mind is "It figures". I looked for a t-shirt formrmorse, but they didn't seem to have any like that.
Bed now.
