So, I was hoping to get up a post for one or two of my games, but it just ain't happening. I'm leaving in a couple hours for a ski trip, and will be back Sunday night - but I wouldn't expect any posts from me on Monday, since it's a holiday and I'll probably be too sore/lazy to post.
Sorry for the hold up, guys. But I'll get back into things on Tuesday.

Have fun boss; break a leg! I suppose that's more appropriate for performing, and not so appropriate for skiing. Don't break anything, the trip will go infinately better.  |

Skiing in the Appalachians...amateurs.   Seriously though, if you ever want to come to Colorado, we know enough skiers/snowboarders that will take you up to the high country and show you some GOOD skiing. Have fun. Don't break anything.  |

Haha! It's true, though. The Appalachians are kinda sad compared to the Rockies, but I love 'em anyway. I think we have a lot more trees, though... One of the more interesting runs I went on was basically moguls and trees. Kinda neat. Thankfully I didn't run into any. This'll also probably sound funny to you Colorado folks, but damn it was cold out there. The lodge was up on top of the mountain (rather than at its base), so we had the dubious joy of pretty intense winds whenever we were at the top. But then, 'really freaking cold' to me is like 5-10 degrees Fahrenheit, which is probably old hat to you guys. (supposedly somebody's outside thermometer read -4, but I think it lied) But it was manageable. I had plenty of warm gear so a wussy DCer like me could handle it. It even snowed while we were up there, so we had plenty of fresh powder to ski on. It was nice. I only had a handful of really spectacular crashes, and came out mostly unscathed (shamefully, my worst bruise comes from slipping on some ice on the parking lot, while walking to the car at the end of the last day. Highly annoying). Anyway, a good time was had, and maybe when I'm feeling comfortable about my skiing ability over here, I'll let you Colorado folks show me a real mountain so I can feel unskilled all over again. |

Well, glad to hear that you did naught but bust your ass in a parking lot. Breaking bones is never a good plan.
As to cold, though we might be more used to it, it's not something that we can ignore all the time. This morning it was 3 degrees outside my house. Hell, it's been in the teens to twenties for the last week, not counting nasty windchills. <shiver> That's the worst part really, that wind cuts right through ya.
Oh, and don't let KMan make it sound like we're all in teh know about the hills. He said we know people that play in the hills, not that we did. KMan, BluSpecs and myself are three examples of Colorado natives that don't skii or snowboard. Maybe crazy, but for me I don't particularly enjoy skiis... I think they want to kill me.
