I did it!! I went skiing!

I am checking another goal off my list! I went downhill skiing yesterday at Shawnee Peak in Bridgton,  I had a great time!  I only spilled a few times.  But did great on the turns!  I have decided that skis and a conveyor belt (they call it the Magic Carpit) and me just aren't friends. I much prefer the chair lift on the Bunny Trail.  But I fell REALLY hard both times I went down it .  Next time I am renting a helmet!   I hope to go again next month, after I get my tax refund money. 

PS: Sorry I haven't been around. Computer has been down for a few days.  Lets just say I tried to download a new version of Windows XP and deleted EVERYTHING off my computer!! argh! I still don't know how I did that!   Oh and I saw "Slumdog Millionaire" today.  Great Movie! 

oh, man, I wish I would have been there to watch.  maybe next year I'll go too.  Oh, ****!  what did I just say?

That's SOOO cool!  Glad you didn't get hurt when you fell!!!   ONE DAY........I'm gonna go try it too!   CONGRATS on making it home in 1 piece!!!!!

Congratulations!!! I went a long time and many pounds ago.  It terrified me, so it is not one of my goals.  I would, however, like to be able to go cross country skiing again, someday.

Hooray for reaching one of your goals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Brave, brave woman you!   Congratulations on stepping out of your comfort zone and living!!!

WOW That is one of my goals as well. I used to ski when I was a teenager about 150 pounds ago. I loved it, so much fun.  That is wonderful that you actually acheived that goal. I do plan on acheiving mine some winter soon as well.

Downhill skiing is so much fun...or it was until I did my knees in with it - good for you trying something new. Sky diving is on my list - wanna go?

I definately want to try skydiving!!!  Maybe this summer...no skiing, when I fall down I cannot get up and everyone flys right by me not bothering to ask if I need help!!  But that was years ago...maybe I could try the bunny trail....

Good for you,my girlfriend...I am sooooooooooo good at Lodge-perfected that in High school and continued the grand tradition as I hung out with my kids when they skiied at Shawnee or Bretton Woods.
I have sky dived-in college, and got certified in SCUBA so feel I did my adrenelin junkie stuff when my knees and bones could stand it.still love to swim and snorkle. Don't know if I really want to ski again,..it does take place in the winter, outdoors after all.  By the way, you were 10 minutes from my house!!
CHECK- one more wonderful thing that WLS has helped you accomplish!!!

That is absolutely wonderful!  I'm glad you went and it sounds like you had a blast.  Next winter I plan on trying skiing for the 1st time.  We'll have to make it a gathering!
