About 25 minutes left today, my 50th, as I type this. What did I do? Well, paradise on Earth. I went skiing up near Collingwood Ontario with my daughter. Yes, I outlasted her. Got 20 years on her and she still can't keep up. We had an apres-ski with some friends afterwards as I whipped out my camera and tooks some shots.

Then as an added bonus, I trained slalom at our home hill for about 2 hours this evening. Very intensive and fast.

Am I tired? I'm sleeping in tomorrow, and a warning to any one that tries to wake me up early.

Zzzz... :)

Happy B-Day Wally! Keep at it. We more "mature" people have to show the young whipper snappers we still have it in us! LOL

Devil's Glen is where we were all day. Waterfall was rather challenging after the sun dropped below the ridge. :) We're racing at Blue this Saturday. Rabbit's Run.

Good luck on Sunday in the race. I remember Waterfall at Devil's Glen. That's the one under the chair lift, right?

Thanks. Yep that's the run. Freaking steep and fast if you try to tuck it! :) We'll be racing there on March 14 but a couple of runs over on Stairway. Had my best race crash there. Bounced off a gate, up into the air and face first into the snow.
