I have labeled some posts "Nature" but I decided I needed an actual heading for it. There is so much all around when skiing. Yesterday was a perfect example: frost. The day before I cleared six inches of snow off my car after work in Charlevoix, then drove 25 mph through near zero visibility lake-effect snow to the county line. By the time I reached Petoskey the sky was blue! Later I found out Charlevoix got 18 inches while Nub's Nob only got a trace. I headed to the hill very disappointed, but then the sun came out. Every tree was coated in white crystals! It was truly a winter wonderland. It even helped me through my first lesson: the five year old girl wanted nothing to do with me until we went up the chair and saw the trees. She then told me about pixie dust and Tinkerbell. We had a great time for the rest of the lesson, so thank you to Mother Nature and Walt Disney!
