A New Year

The first light of 2008 coming up over the mountain in Vail.


I was quite cold on the deck snapping this photo during the hustle and bustle of getting ready for skiing this morning.

Look at the thermometer...


And that is a negative sign in front of the 1o! But with sunny skies in the forecast for Vail, skiing was the only option for the first day of the new year.

Our first self portrait of 2008 as we rode up the first lift!


Charlie provided instruction on the novice slopes all day. He is very patient and I hope, hope, hope I am improving.


I think we have to come again in the spring so I am able to keep up my new skills. Let's face it, skiing two or three days a year (or every other year, as it's been the case in the most recent past) doesn't allow for any improvement.

Another good day skiing, but it is always nice to come home and take off those boots.
