...if you are a penguin or a polar bear!
Yesterday a small crew of my girlfriends and I braved Keystone for our somewhat annual ski outing. It started out sunny, the kind of day that requires frequent application of sun screen, but quickly changed to one of those days where you don't want a centimeter of exposed skin. None the less, in spite of some serious wind in the more exposed areas, flat light and the onslaught of snow, we got out and rocked the mountain.
One of the best thing about skiing with your girlfriends, especially those you've known for years is you have history. Lift and gondola rides provide ample time to catch up, reminisce, and just be girls again. There is no ego involved....no competition of who skies or rides faster, better, or with more style.
So, we skied, at lunch, skied again, warmed up for a beverage break, skied some more, then had a nice dinner with nice wine. Zero complaints, we even forgot about being cold! And, no trips with ski patrol!!
It sounds wonderful. At first I thought "-1 doesn't sound that cold." Then I realized you're talking about Fahrenheit! Brrrrrrrr.
