Boarder Chick

On Saturday Shiloh and I enjoyed the first run of the season at Copper. We had a blast and the weather was perfect. Snow conditions were awesome and there wasn't any traffic! It was amazing! And...the best part...I didn't have any bad falls. Granted, I still had some less than graceful moments, but I didn't get hurt (which unfortunately does happen quite often). My favorite graceful moment happened when I got off the lift and had buckled in. Shiloh was off to the side waiting on me and I slowly start going down and turn around and give her a cheerful wave and in a cheesy, peppy voice say, "Come on friend, let's go!" And a nano second later I fell flat on my face about 15 ft away from this guy who was trying so hard not to laugh. I had to suck up all pride and just laugh and told the guy who was around my age that, "I did that just for you." So about 30 seconds later his friend pulls up by him and he also tell his friend, "Come on friend, let's go." I was mocked. But it was pretty funny.And here's a belated picture from last Saturday's The Nutcracker...
