Holiday Skiing

After we recuperated with our napping and knitting we did hit the slopes at Sugar Mountain in NC.  Eric tried to teach me how to snowboard, and once UP I was quite successful, but getting up off my butt... well that was a different story entirely.  After about an hour on the bunny hill (50 minutes of which was like horrendous situps trying to go from laying flat on your back to standing on a awkward board on slippery icy snow) I gave up and put skis on (Eric kept his snowboard - b/c he knows what the devil he's doing) and up the lift we went...

On the first trip down Eric remembered the 'secret' to getting from your ars to standing on a snowboard.  Yeah, that would have been good to remember before.  Alas, I skied - he snowboarded (it was 11 degrees with blowing snow) so we both froze, they closed the slopes to groom and home we went to warm up (with dinner and some wine).
