I'm Sure My Skiing Would Make A Blooper Reel

My friend's kids just left for West Virginia to go skiing for the weekend. Would you believe I've never been skiing? Honestly, my balance is so bad and my ankles are so weak that I'm of the opinion that going on ski holidays would probably end badly for me, and possibly anyone around me. I'm sure I'd be even worse than the people in the video below, most of them at least started upright before going down.





A part of me is glad that hubby and son don't care to ski either, but by the same token, I would LOVE to sit in a ski lodge by a roaring fire with a hot chocolate spiked with some peppermint schnapps and a stack of magazines. That's about the only thing I can think of that I would enjoy in the cold. Besides, I can get my fill of other people skiing in just 57 days. That's when the 2010 winter Olympics begin. Then, I'll be able to see Tail Grabs, Iron Crosses, Daffie's and Lincoln Loops to the fill. (Ha! You didn't know I knew the actual names of ski tricks, did you? -- Truth be told, I looked them up! lol!)
