Solitude

Yes, indeed. There's nothing like a chair lift ride alone with only the sun shining on your back and the "ski tunes" playlist in your ears.



For those of you worried about my safety with those old skis, you'll be relieved to find out that we did in fact go shopping for better equipment. I ended up finding these new-but-possibly-gently-used skis at a great shop in Frisco that carries both new and used ski stuff. I absolutely love them and am not sure how I ever managed tight turns on the old ones. Oh, that's right... I didn't manage tight turns before. Ric and Katy, you won't be surprised to learn that yes, even with the new and improved equipment, I still need the entire width of the trail before getting the courage to make a turn. However, I think I did shave some time off the Wolverine run today.
