Today I knew I was going skiing, all depending on the weather and the weather was good, so away I went!

We got up, had breakfast and I took off, I wanted to get a head start on my day and DCM was heading to Błackhawk for a poker tournament a little later. Apparently I had been spoiled in my other trips, this one took almost two hours! There was one spot with some slow down, of course, no reason for it!

I decided to go to Keystone, it was do crowded, that I had to go to another lot and get shuttled to the gondola. I had taken DayQuil when I had gotten up and then when I got to the mountain and up I went, hoping for the best and it was awesome!

Being out in the cold and having the wind go through me was fantastic! I didn’t sniffle, my nose only ran twice, it was terrific! I did six times top to bottom, some times going half ways down and taking the chair lift back up. I took trails I had never taken before and realized why I hadn’t before and won’t again!

I encountered a lot of nice people, on the chair lifts, when I wiped out several people stopped, I gave them the thumbs up, one of the emergency guys helped me get my skis out of the very deep powder! I even met a field mouse, what are the odds? I saw something moving across the mountain, realized it was alive! I hope it he made it to the other side.

After a few hours, I was ready to head for home. I stopped at one of the stores having a sale, got a hoody and a new ski jacket, orange this time with lots of zippered pockets and some inside pockets! Both half off, how could I say no?

I was still feeling great, nose clear and then as soon as I got back in the car and started driving…stuffed nose and sniffles, boo hiss! Here I am, back at home, NyQuil taken and laying in bed,hoping for the best. I need to get back on the mountain!
