First, thanks to skrocki  for the tip as I was "Struggling in blog-land".  As a non-techno person I like the easier way to do this!  Thank YOU!!  I still have a long way to go to be a competent blogger, but your hints were a big help! 

As a skiing adict, I've been blessed with a number of amazing days on the slopes this year.    Saturday was Girls Day Out at Copper Mountain.  Copper is my favorite Summit County resort, and over the last week they got 30" of fresh snow.  April is usually a big snow month for Colorado, but sometimes we don't get to take advantage of it like yesterday.  The sun was high, not a cloud to be seen, screaming bright blue sky, and all that fresh snow.  In spite of the 60 degree temperatures the snow held up and conditions were the best I had all year. 

We started the day a little later than I would have liked....we had a fair amount of debate on what time to depart for the mountain.  "E" sometimes finds it painful to be up before 9 am on the weekends, so it took some arm twisting to get her to agree on a 7.30 am departure. 

"L" my yogi gal pal is an extremely competent boarder and she pushed me just a bit more than I might have pushed myself.  The highlight of my day was my first descent down Union Bowl - an extremely steep double black diamond run.  We had to hike that last bit off the chair to get to the summit, and it was only then that I had a severe case of nerves.  But, after some clucking like a chicken on my part, and some coaxing from "L" I made it off the edge onto the craziest funnest place I've ever found myself on with skis!  While I didn't exactly rip it up, I had a great time and made it down in one piece. (bonus!!)

I don't think Warren Miller will be calling me anytime soon to star in a ski flick.  Good thing I love my job at Sun!
