it's way more fun skiing with your girl than it is skiing by yourself. most of the time anyway
i love getting out and having some alone time, but being able to have the girl along with me for the last couple of weeks has really been a trip. it helps that she is uber talented and the toughest girl i have ever been with. we had done the snowboarding the alps together which, of course, was amazing and great memories. and in all honesty she is a better boarder than me. but hitting the backyard with her - small trails, amazing snow, great little downhills - was a thing of pure beauty. she lives in a sub-tropical part of the world now and so for her to have a taste of real winter fun again was a blessing. best of all is she can't wait to get back and do it again!
since i have been practicing and learning i tried to get her to the best adrenaline-rush hills within easy skiing so we could hit em together. god we had fun! she was even up to hit a new-to-her hill without a head-lamp and was whoopping it up the whole way down. i knew i loved her before, but man that was great....by the end of her first real day on any incline she was bending the knees and rocking it smoothly down. the smile at the end is something i will never forget and can't wait to see again. next winter it will have to be

until then, i implore you guys (and gals) to get out there with your significant other. if you have been down this road and they hate it and skiing is your thing only, then please disregard and revel in calling me an asshole! happy trails ya'll...
