I woke up to A whipping open the blinds and whistling "It's a White Christmas". It snowed a couple of inches last night and it's still coming down! A skied to work.

I used to do a lot of skiing when I was a teenager. Mostly cross-country being that there were no big mts. where I lived to do downhill. On rare occasions A can get me to ski down a mountain, but I'm not so good and can only do the blue runs. Those double black diamond runs freak me out. I've never tried backcountry skiing, but I've attempted snowboarding a couple times and spent those days falling down. It sounds a lot like your ski experience. I think we'd make a good pair ... in the warm lodge drinking hot chocolate! :)

Also, last night I dreamed I was in Vegas in the snow. :)
