night skiing!

"All my patience is about to pay off," Andy declared on our way home from snoqualmie late on saturday night. Andy has spent three trips to the slopes this winter: hanging on the green runs, watching me panic getting on the chair lift, watching me bite it over and over again getting off said chair lift, and watching me ski with a death grip on my poles. (did you know those poles were supposed to be used for something more than helping you stand back up after you fall down?!)


it was absolutly dumping and gorgous on saturday night! kari met us up there. it was lots of fun to hang out with kari and experience a sport not involving 2 wheels for a change.
4+ inches of snow accumulated on our cars between 7-10pm. it was so much fun to ski in all the fluff.

kari has only snowboarded a hand full of times; andy rented a snowboard this trip; so he wouldn't be too bored watching us trying to learn. Andy was pleased that he hasn't lost all his snowboard skills. he hasn't snowboarded for 5 or 6 years.

kari and i both had monumental breakthroughs in the snow! we are very close to graduating from the green runs! andy is very ready for all his patience to pay off. :)



the arrangement of the vents in my new helmet created a great mohawk style.
