Skinning Santa Fe
Sat Nov 20 2004 19:58 MST #So this morning we woke up to a freezing house and rain Lots of rain. The first thing Rachel says to me is not her traditional - "tired so tired", but rather "Skiing!!!!" . The exclaimintion points were audible.
And around noon we started climbing, then skinning something like 1000-1500 feet up the Santa Fe Ski Area. Some 3+ hours later we were at the base. Having had a hike that kicked our asses - then a kick ass ski down. The powder near the top was quite deep. We floated , seriously. A lot of fun.
But a lot of work as well. I am DEAD. And for a change it kicked Rachel's ass as well. We're both dead.
Of course on the drive home she noticed that it was dumping over Pajarito "Skiing!!!!"
No!!!
