Cross-country Skiing


Kathy arranged for Sam at Sundance to take me up to the level ground (Elk Meadows).  So  Heather and Kathy rode in the back and I rode in the front of the cat and drove up to the level ground.  I snapped into my skiis and took off on the tracks.  The snow was rather slushy.  When I got to a downhill I fell down, my legs are too weak to do a decent snowplow.  I was scared of doing permanent damage.  My friends abandoned their skiis and walked me down the hill in my skiis.  So Heather and I just sat on a picnic table and waited for Kathy to go around Elk Meadows.  We just walked down the hill and back to the Yurt with my friends on each side of me.  I'm sad that my skiing days are over, but I have such good friends that helped me try.

I love the periwinkle sky

I hope that there's skiing in heaven; it won't be heaven without skiing.

Janet I love that you were able to experience skiing again. I am so glad that you have friends that you let help you do that. What a wonderful, cherished memory.
