ChairTalk: The Ski

It has been a long time since I really wanted a ski based on graphics (think green Rossignol slalom skis), but Scott is bringing back "The Ski." I love it! Bobbie Burns came up with the ski and design in the 70's, and it really took off as a freestyle ski. I didn't remember it's name, but who could forget those awesome graphics! It will come in four different lengths, each length a different color scheme. Decisions, decisions!

Signs of the Season: Mardi Gras

After last year's had to be cancelled due to lack of snow, this year's Mardi Gras was going to be twice as great! I spent most of the day on Big Time helping with the Silly Slalom and Crazy Couples races. It was a lot of fun! Every kid racer received a prize and my friends Eric and Ali won the couples race. Many thanks to J. P. Adams, Chief of Course (of course)! My one suggestion for next year? Less inflatables! I think it took us two hours to pack everything up!

ChairTalk: Shadows

Here is my shadow leading me up Whitefish on the black chair. I love the way it shrinks and grows depending on how high I am in the air. C. S. Lewis wrote about this effect in The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, one of my favorite Narnia books.

Back to Nature: Sunsets

This part of Michigan is know for great sunsets. I have certainly seen my share, but my favorites are from the ski hill. I managed to get out to Nub's Friday night, and it was another amazing view!

It may seem like the sun is setting on the season, but Nub's Nob still has four more weeks left. Right now I am only scheduled for Mardi Gras on March 23, but if there is interest I could meet a lesson during Spring Break, March 29 - April 7.
