So there had been a request about what I did with the rest of my afternoons when I skied. . . . . . well for a few days I got to ski with some of my friends Carol and her husband Ray from Dallas. They happened to be in town for a few days for their own vacation and didn't know there was a ski week going on. It was totally a pleasant surprise when I ran into them after lunch at the St. B! Carol and Ray are friends that I spend labor day weekend every year at the beach house I share with houston friends.
I was so proud of myself, Ray really wanted to learn to do a few moguls so I was lucky and got to play ski instructor and show him what I had been learning. I love playing ski instructor, its the
job I really wish I could do in real life. . . . . Oooohhh the life of a ski bum. . . . . . . . I taught him the 'pressing the buttons' technique on carving and how to use it then on a bump. He seemed to get it, I was so pumped! I love sharing skiing with people :)The rest of the time I actually skied with Gareth. On the first day we skied together we went back to the scene of the crime. We hiked the trail up to the basin and stared down the run Zdarsky. We skied down part and talked things over like, 'here is where I started falling' or 'here is where I found your first ski' or 'wow, you fell really far down the hill'. It was kinda weird, very calm, and probably a good closure for Gareth. He said it, 'Got the monkey off his back' by going back. Which I was glad to be there for him for that.
After that we pretty much skied where ever we felt like all over the mountain. We hiked the basin a few more times over the week, we did the ridge once. We had been hoping to climb Kachina Peak again, but they closed the trail really soon after lunch and we missed the chance. But we did the bumps and the trees and I was pretty happy with our skiing. We had a really fun time together agian! It was so nice.
So are we together? Hmmmm, maybe ;)
