You guessed it; day five with Sky and two friends

5:30 came too soon on a Sunday morning, but at least the new guy, Tank didn't get up during the night. We, Sky and his two friends that spent the night, were on I-70 by 6:40 and there was hardly any holiday traffic to speak of... they were all asleep by Chief Hosa, so I guess I couldn't speak of it anyways.

When you ski alone (with iPod which was great but you kind of have to unplug or pause on the lift in case the other passengers are chatty) you get pretty tired from skiing as fast as you want. And not waiting in lift lines, the only rest you get is on the lift. So, I got a lot of skiing in today and got pretty tired but I'm starting to get my ski legs for the season.

These pictures aren't great because I forgot my camera. I had to resort to my iPhone's camera. Day five was great in that I got to ski in the Outback, do some tree runs which was surprising since in other areas of the mountain, those slopes were just about bare. We really need snow. It kind of snowed today but as one guy from Oklahoma City said, "if this is the snow we brought with us, it's pretty pitiful!"

Happy Martin Luther King Day to everyone!

I love changing out of my ski clothes before the drive home. The coffee helped; I hardly nodded at all even though all the occupants of our car were asleep. We were home by 3:15 to let Tank out of his crate... I even got motivated to pull all my drums off of the shelf, setup and take pictures for my Craig's List posting.
